About European Committee of the Regions (CoR)

The European Committee of the Regions (CoR) is a political assembly representing local and regional authorities across the European Union. Composed of 329 members and 329 alternates, the CoR advises on new laws with an impact on regions and cities, which accounts for approximately 70% of all EU legislation.

The CoR works to bring EU citizens closer to the EU by involving regional and local representatives in daily contact with their electorate's concerns. They also invite citizens to participate in various events and debates, aiming to reduce the gap between the EU institutions' work and EU citizens. The Committee operates through a system of cooperation between European, national, regional, and local levels.

The CoR's mission is based on the belief that cooperation between these levels is essential for building an ever closer and more mutually supportive union among the people of Europe. The Committee has a budget that covers expenses for its staff, political members, interpretation, communication activities, and operates with a principle of subsidiarity, ensuring decisions are taken at the level of government best serving the public interest.
