Michael Schneider also referred to the strong ties of both leaders established with the EPP Group in the CoR: "We were very lucky to have met with both Donald Tusk and Jean-Claude Juncker during our "Summit of EPP regional and local political leaders" in Poznan in April this year where we discussed Europe's regions and cities as a decisive element in the future. We are very hopeful that their openness to local and regional points of view on Europe will continue and we look forward to further strengthening our cooperation with them at the helm of the most important EU Institutions.
