"Our region is pleased to offer jobs to refugees from Ukraine, businesses are happy to open their doors. This works both ways by providing remuneration and helping them to integrate better."
-Oszkár Seszták
"But we were playing catch up with reality on the ground. Civil society had taken matters into their own hands by opening up their homes. Triggering the directive was just the beginning. Also launched solidarity platform. Had to be flexible and responsive"
"Temporary protection directive has been triggered due to urgency of situation otherwise the whole system would have collapsed in EU. Opened up social rights, education rights, & access to housing"
-Michael Shotter Director for Migration & Home Affairs @EU_Commission
"Through a financial incentive to be able to provide support to the families coming to our region, our citizens opened their doors"
-@Donatella_Tesei
"Umbria as a region launched initiatives to support Ukrainian refugees. Umbria is not on the border but in centre of Italy & our region has long tradition of welcoming people in need and hosting famillies"
President of @RegioneUmbria @Donatella_Tesei
"In Hungary we have showed European solidarity, we were 1st safe country for these refugees. Many people working as volunteers, making donations up to 1 million euro. Internal migrants are suffering a lot, have received support in the front line"
"Community needs to be continuously inspired to help and this is a challenge now – to keep up that momentum. We are organising language courses, education for children and other services to help integrate the refugees"
- Oszkár Seszták, President of Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg Megye
"State mobilised all possible services, showing how important local governments were. We as Marshals made available services, infrastructure & transport. Citizens were mobilised and opened their homes in all regions of Poland. Nobody was asking for money at that time".
We are doing our best to anticipate future events, war is underway. Some people feel that it may be a distant matter but we are all impacted by imminent long winter and rising energy prices"
- W. Ortyl
"Recent visit to Eastern Poland showed me great hospitality of Polish people & authorities to help those in need of protection. In my region of Abruzzo we have many distribution centres offering support & aid to Ukrainians. Listening to more experiences will enrich us all today"
In keynote speech President @marcomarsilio calls for EU migration policy to be kind & strong – a motto akin to that of Abruzzo region
🔵strong: protect external borders from hybrid threats & irregular migration
🔵kind: accept genuine refugees fleeing war or life-threatening risks
Moderator and ECR member Barbara Hegedűs welcomes speakers and participants to today's event during which speakers will share first-hand experiences not only of the challenges and the efforts of regional authorities in welcoming refugees fleeing war but also their expectations
Our @ECR_CoR workshop on "refugees fleeing war: the role of border regions" as part of #EURegionsWeek has just started
With high-profile speakers and a record number of registrations, we promise you won't be disappointed!
Citing many examples of how in Podkarpackie they use EU funds in the best possible way W. Ortyl makes heartfelt appeal for increase in pool of available funds as well as more flexibility in spending them, particularly for peripheral and less developed regions
#EURegionsWeek
"Goals of cohesion policy 2021-2027 - on ecological & digital transformation - were formulated in completely different geopolitical reality, before war in Ukraine. We are now facing new problems: massive influx of refugees, inflation & cost-of-living crisis"
-W. Ortyl
First VP Władysław Ortyl at opening session of #EURegionsWeek on EU Cohesion Policy and how the needs of regions are often challenging and broad in scope
-W. Ortyl │#EURegionsWeek

- President of @ECR_CoR @marcomarsilio
