Janez Janša, Prime Minister of Slovenia, currently holding the Presidency of the EU Council, remotely attended the Plenary of the European Committee of the Regions (CoR), discussing with regional and local authorities how to address local communities' needs. He told local and regional politicians that the top priority of his country's presidency of the Council of the European Union is to stop the pandemic and support the EU's economic recovery. Prime Minister Janša also thanked the European Committee of the Regions for excellent cooperation during the first half of the Presidency and for a great discussion in June already when State Secretary Gašper Dovžan presented the Presidency priorities to the Bureau, as well as congratulating the Committee members on their flagship "European Week of Regions and Cities" event.

COP26: Local leaders call on EU's chief negotiator Vice-President Timmermans to include regional and local dimension in final Glasgow conclusions to protect people and the planet
Press release13.10.2021 | Green Deal;Disaster prevention;
Subnational governments deliver 70 % of climate mitigation measures and 90 % of climate adaptation policies. Their contribution must finally be recognised to avert the climate emergency The European Committee of the Regions adopted a resolution on COP26 setting out its climate demands two weeks before UN's climate negotiations in Glasgow. As the world faces unprecedented heat waves, floods, hurricanes and sea level rises, EU local leaders called on the UN and national governments to formally acknowledge, monitor and encourage the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by cities, local governments and regions worldwide. Higher climate ambition, transparency and accountability in reducing GHG emissions and climate finance for the most vulnerable are the three key aspects on the table in Glasgow.

Barómetro Regional e Local da UE alerta: défice de 180 mil milhões de euros devido à COVID-19 prejudicará serviços públicos
Press release12.10.2021 | Citizenship;Territorial cohesion;Public health;Economic and Monetary Union (EMU);Environment policy;Research and innovation;Education;Employment;Equal opportunities;Social economy;Social protection;Migration, asylum and integration of migrants;
Elaborado pelo Comité das Regiões Europeu , o Barómetro Regional e Local da UE hoje publicado adverte que a recuperação da UE será prejudicada pela incapacidade das capitais nacionais de consultarem os municípios e as regiões sobre os planos de recuperação de emergência financiados pela UE. A possibilidade de os fundos da UE não chegarem aos domínios em que são mais necessários na ótica dos municípios e das regiões também corre o risco de agravar as dificuldades criadas por um défice orçamental de 180 mil milhões de euros, resultante da diferença entre a despesa e a receita causada pela pandemia de COVID-19.
