OQ to the Commission: The role of local and regional authorities in the European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF)


I voted in favour of this resolution which focuses on measures to support and strengthen the role of local and regional authorities in the European Structural and Investment (ESI) Funds. It rightly highlights the importance of local knowledge in achieving overarching cohesion goals and delivering well-targeted local investment initiatives.
