🔴 MEP Giuseppe Lupo, Vice-Chair of the Committee on Budget, shares the situation of the interinstitutional negotiations on the #EUBudget
“We are asking for the Council’s position, therefore it's extremely important to develop any initiative to convince member states to accept the EP's proposal.”
📢Launch of the session of @uclg.bsky.social in #CEMRLeadersSummit.
The discussion unpacked the role of local multilateralism, which is needed to lead on-the-ground transformations.

#UCLGMeets @uclg.bsky.social

ℹ️ Social dialogue is negotiation and cooperation between governments, workers and employers
🔗 About #LABProject: ccre-cemr.org/lab
Local governments spend €3 trillion a year on #PublicProcurement — yet the rules haven't kept up with reality.
Our new position paper calls for simpler, fairer #EUProcurement rules: higher thresholds, less red tape, and flexibility for cities and regions

Good morning from #Rovaniemi! ☀️
🔙 Last night's dinner was a great moment of connection for CEMR local leaders, with a special guest joining us
📝 Ready to kick off day 2 of #CEMRLeadersSummit. On the agenda: #EUBudget and #UCLG World Congress
#CEMR75 #UCLGMeets
🇳🇱 For @apreinders.bsky.social, preparedness must become part of our DNA — especially in times of crisis.
Strong structures matter, but governments cannot act alone. Investing in local governments is key to building real #resilience. 🏛️🌍
#CEMRLeadersSummit #CEMR75
🇸🇪 “Building preparedness means practising different scenarios and preparing together"
“We need stronger coordination and experience-sharing among local governments across Europe”
This is how the mayor of #Västerås (Sweden) puts #Foresight and #Preparedness into practice.
