Regions chief appeals against cutting EU cohesion funds
By EUobserver
The president of the Committee of the Regions, Apostolos Tzitzikostas, said on Tuesday that he would launch an appeal to avoid cutting cohesion funds which "help make people's lives better in cities and regions," two days ahead of the special summit on the EU budget. "We are aware of the financial impact of Brexit, but the costs should not be placed on the shoulders of cities and regions," he warned.
