On 6‑7 May 2026, the European Committee of the Regions (CoR) will present its detailed responses to the European Commission’s proposed long‑term budget for 2028‑2034. The CoR has already criticised the plan’s centralisation and nationalisation of funding and will oppose the creation of a single National and Regional Partnership Plan. In the plenary, separate opinions will cover regional and rural development, research and innovation, the Connecting Europe Facility, Erasmus+, and the proposed AgoraEU programme. The council will also debate environmental and data‑simplification measures, protection of youth in the digital sphere, crisis stockpiling, and noise‑pollution policies. Key debates will involve Cyprus, Malta, and the EU Commission, while Ukrainian officials will update on city‑level needs amid the Russia‑Ukraine conflict. The session will also launch nominations for the Mayor Paweł Adamowicz Award.
