COTER

Commission for Territorial Cohesion Policy and EU budget

COTER

From a socialist and progressive perspective, the COTER commission for Territorial Cohesion Policy and EU Budget deals with important topics for the future of regions and cities in Europe. European Structural and Investment Funds, cohesion in urban and rural areas, the territorial approaches, territorial cooperation and transport and urban policies are main drivers of change. They allow the implementation of integrated strategies based on the needs identified in cities and regions. Within the COTER commission, we focus on building a more cohesive Europe based on solidarity, ensuring that no people and no places are left behind. 

The remit of the Commission for Territorial Cohesion Policy and EU Budget covers the following fields:

  • EU Budget and Multiannual Financial Framework Economic, Social and Territorial Cohesion
  • Cohesion Policy Funds
  • Territorial Development, including the Territorial Agenda
  • Urban Policy
  • Spatial Planning and Housing
  • Territorial Cooperation including Cross-border Cooperation and Macro-regional Strategies
  • Transport policy, TEN-T and Missing Links
  • Regional Statistics and Indicators
