On 1 July, the European Committee of the Regions (CoR) released a position calling for the 2028‑2034 EU budget to allocate migration, asylum and integration funds in a way that reflects local needs. The CoR says that local and regional authorities must have a clear role in planning, managing, monitoring and evaluating EU‑funded programmes. It highlights that reception and integration services—housing, health care, education, language learning, training and employment—are primarily delivered by municipalities and regions. The opinion warns that a strict performance‑based approach could burden authorities with limited capacity and that funding should be predictable and targeted, especially in rural, border, insular and minority‑populated areas. The CoR also requests dedicated technical assistance and a partnership‑based governance model for national and regional partnership plans.
