Letter by the AER and other local and regional Associations to the European Parliament

Seven organisations [1] representing Europe’s local and regional authorities addressed a letter, on 3 November 2009, to all Members of the European Parliament stating their concerns about the draft Communication “Reforming the budget, changing Europe”, prepared recently by the EU Commission.
“The draft communication”, say the local and regional associations, “sets out a series of proposals which, if implemented, would challenge sustainable recovery and development in Europe. Those proposals do not reflect the goal of territorial cohesion, as introduced in the Lisbon Treaty.”

The Open Letter has been signed by:

Assemblée des Régions d’Europe (ARE) – Michèle SABBAN, Vice-présidente d’Ile de France (FR) ;
Association des Régions Frontalières Européennes (ARFE) – Martin GUILLERMO, Secrétaire Général ;
Conférence des Régions européennes à pouvoir législatif (REGLEG) – Mercedes BRESSO, Président de la région Piémont (IT) ;
Conférence des Régions Périphériques Maritimes d’Europe (CRPM) – Claudio MARTINI, Président de la Toscane (IT) ;
Conseil des Communes et Régions d’Europe (CCRE) – Michael HÄUPL, Maire de Vienne (AT) et Président de l’Association des Villes Autrichiennes ;
EUROCITÉS – Paul BEVAN, Secrétaire Général ;
Association Européenne des Elus de Montagne (AEM) – Joël GIRAUD, Vice-présidente de l’AEM.
