The 126th Plenary Session of the European Committee of the Regions is taking place now in the European Commission’s Charlemagne Building.
With thirteen opinions, three of which are led by the EPP Group, and a Resolution on the European Commission’s Work Programme 2018 as well as today's topical debate on the likely impact of Brexit for the local and regional authorities in the EU, it looks set to be a busy two days.
The three EPP-led opinions are:
- The implementation of EU macro-regional strategies from rapporteur Raffaele Cattaneo, Regional Councillor and President of Lombardia Regional Council, Italy
- Modernising school and higher education, including the Council recommendation on tracking graduates, from rapporteur Csaba Borboly, President of Harghita County Council, Romania
- The EU competition policy report for 2016 from rapporteur Michael Murphy, Councillor for Tipperary County Council, Ireland
