We welcome a revised directive that will lead to cleaner and healthier waters. However, the legislation must be flexible enough, and able to adjust to different local and regional conditions. There is simply no 'one size fits all' solution. @agrenwikstrom @EU_CoR #CoRplenary https://t.co/I5z4tGSKdw

Re We need more innovation and more research, as well as private investment in order to find new solutions to the problems of wastewater management and air quality. All regions should tackle such issues by taking into account their own specific situations. @mmarkkula @EU_CoR https://t.co/VpN32C6qpZ

Re @mmarkkula @EU_CoR Source measures - European ones in particular - are key to combat air pollution. The current European source measures are not ambitious enough &amp; are being taken too late. This is an important reason why cities &amp; regions need more time to meet the limit values. @TjisseStelpstra https://t.co/76QZHzesAZ

Re @mmarkkula @EU_CoR @TjisseStelpstra Cities and regions are at the forefront of addressing pollution. The implementation of the directive should not add an extra burden to local and regional authorities. Different cities/regions can have different needs, hence the need for flexibility. @trzaskowski_ @EU_CoR

Re @mmarkkula @EU_CoR @TjisseStelpstra @trzaskowski_ We strongly support the #EU commitment to push for quality of the treated waters in our wastewater treatment plants. But, let’s listen to the experts on the ground and determine a realistic approach, taking into account the different scenarios in cities/regions. @AaZFerrari https://t.co/kiInqXcXGc

Re @mmarkkula @EU_CoR @TjisseStelpstra @trzaskowski_ @AaZFerrari @regiondemurcia @RegMurciaBrux Cities are making great efforts to improve air quality. But cities must not be overburdened and certainly not held responsible for pollution outside their jurisdiction.
Class action lawsuits for missed targets under the #AAQD directive are therefore the wrong way to go. @uconradt

#CohesionPolicy offers direct and real added value for citizens, municipalities, regions and companies making a significant contribution to the development of the entire EU. We should therefore prevent cohesion funds, from being cut or used for other things. #ThomasHabermann https://t.co/64Hv5iWFaK

Re The composition of the current #MFF should better respond to the #EU own objective of green and digital transition and the @EU_Commission should make more efforts to remove the red tape and bottlenecks that hinder the necessary investments on the ground. @Emil_Boc @EU_CoR https://t.co/sSYBG8NGH4

Re @EU_Commission @Emil_Boc @EU_CoR @JHahnEU More than half of the necessary investments for the twin green and digital transition have to be made at local and regional level. But the figures simply do not match. More than half of the necessary investments are simply missing to reach our own objectives! @sarirautio @EU_CoR https://t.co/revafU9cXv

Re @EU_Commission @Emil_Boc @EU_CoR @JHahnEU @sarirautio Cohesion policy has provided the necessary reserve to overcome the socio-economic impacts of inflation, #COVID19 &amp; sheltering refugees. #CohesionPolicy is still needed as we all need to plan long-term strategic investments &amp; we need to do it from the bottom-up. @tzitzikostas https://t.co/XZ5gqialRT

Re @EU_Commission @Emil_Boc @EU_CoR @JHahnEU @sarirautio @tzitzikostas When regional authorities have more responsibility and authority in drawing funds, local ownership of projects increases. It leads to a higher level of interest from citizens in achieving successful results, and also interest in the #EU. It is a win-win situation. @TrnkaRastislav https://t.co/usKLXxDgxD

Regions have the task of implementing management of these challenges. @EU_Commission adapted the regional funding programs.

Re False information &amp; the current development of technology pose threats to the very essence of democracy &amp; disturb democratic electoral processes. We should use abilities of local governments and engage local media but also support them financially through 🇪🇺 funds. @BrzezinMarek https://t.co/o9JxV0VI0m

Re @BrzezinMarek @EU_CoR We need to work for democracy not only at #EU level but also at the local and regional level.
