All CEPLI members have decided to support a Manifesto proposed by the to recall that if Europe wants to succeed in its bet for recovery, local intermediate authorities must participate in the deployment of the NextGeneration EU funds. At a historic moment for a European Union that has to face an unprecedented situation, the Manifesto voices a concern: if local authorities cannot translate the priorities of the European Commission and the national recovery plans of the States into strategies adapted to the reality of each territory and based on global approaches, the transformative capacity of the European funds will be clearly weakened.
The document was sent to the President of the European Commission, the President of the EP, the President of the CoR and to the Permanent Representations towards the EU.
