#52026XR1050EU Regions Committee priorities for the 2027 Commission Work Programme
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This declaration sets out what the European Committee of the Regions wants the European Commission to include in its 2027 work programme. It pushes for stronger local and regional influence over EU funding, cohesion policy, energy security, innovation, digital policy, and future regulatory simplification. The practical impact is political rather than directly binding. Regional and local authorities, EU institutions, and organisations relying on EU funds should watch these priorities because they may shape future Commission proposals, especially the 2028-2034 EU budget, partnership plans, and territorial funding rules.
