AER President Dr Hande Özsan Bozatli reacted to European Commission President’s speech: “Jean-Claude Juncker in his speech on the state of the union has stressed the need for more Europe in the Union and more Union in Europe. Regions within AER show unity in diversity, put into place bold and pragmatic actions in all policy fields and learn from each others mistakes and best practices. I could not agree more when Mr Juncker says that the fight against climate change will not be won or lost in Brussels or Paris but on the ground, in cities and regions. The same goes for many other topics and we look forward to working together with the European Commission to bring back union and pragmatism to Europe.”
