On 3rd July
2012,
Wielkopolska Brussels Office in Brussels together with the Assembly of
European Regions (AER) organized a Breakfast Briefing on the Common Strategic
Framework (CSF). The EU region’s standpoint on this document is being prepared
by the President of Wielkopolska Region Marek Woźniak, who is the CoR’s rapporteur
for the CSF. The meeting provided a great opportunity to
present to the AER regions the main points of the opinion which had been
adopted a day before by the Commission for Territorial Cohesion (COTER). It was
also a good opportunity to exchange views with regions on the changes resulting
from the adoption of the CSF.

Marek Wózniak: "Common Strategic Framework must take into
account the regional specificities across the European Union"Marek Wózniak (PL/EPP), Marshal of the Wielkopolska region and Committee of the Regions (CoR) rapporteur of the draft opinion on the Common Strategic Framework (CSF), attended the European Parliament Committee on Regional Development (REGI) to share the CoR point of view on this issue.
Marek Wózniak said that, "The CoR fully supports the recommendation of the European Parliament (EP) and Council that the CSF should be adopted as an annex to the Common Provisions Regulation (CPR) rather than as a delegated act". He continued saying that this was because, "this is the only way for the CoR to be formally involved in the legislative work, in line with article 177 of the Treaty".

In
view of negotiations on the future EU budget, regions and cities
today called for strengthened investment opportunities for
sustainable tourism, during a meeting of the EPP Group in Faro.
Participants underlined that in line with the Europe 2020 targets for
economic, ecological and social development, sustainable tourism can
generate a large percentage of GDP and provide a beacon of hope for
young people.
“The Europe 2020 Strategy is our model for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. Today, we have learned that tourism is closely linked to all three of these targets.” Michael Schneider, President of the EPP Group in the Committee of the Regions, expressed. “Local and regional authorities play an essential role in developing and managing tourism projects and that is why we need to ensure that sufficient attention is paid to these programmes and projects in the future budget.” The EPP Group’s declaration therefore calls for a spirit of multilevel governance when further developing EU policy in this field in order to further enhance cooperation.
