What Role for Regions in the EU’s Growth Model?

IIEA

Institute of International & European Affairs

In her speech to the IIEA, Kata Tüttő, President of the European Committee of the Regions, will address the European Commission’s proposal for the next EU budget (2028-2034). She will argue that the proposals represent an unprecedented attempt to centralise and nationalise EU policies, weakening the role of regions and cities in the European project. Whilst recognizing the emerging challenges of security and competitiveness, President Tüttő will speak about how regional and local leaders can mobilise to promote Europe’s growth model by ensuring that local and regional authorities play a full and inclusive role. About the Speaker:Kata Tüttő is a Hungarian politician, economist, and public servant with over two decades of experience in local government, European policy-making, and urban sustainability.
