COVID-19: We call on all EU institutions and Member States for an ambitious recovery plan for a sustainable, resilient and socially-just Europe, which leaves no places and no people behind

Joint statement by the European Committee of the Regions’ Conference of Presidents
As mayors, presidents of regions and local and regional councilors we are on the front-line in the fight against the Coronavirus. The unprecedented nature of the COVID-19 shock requires immediate measures and a bold social and economic recovery plan for the European Union, built on solidarity, sustainability, resilience and social justice, in line with the European Green Deal and digital transition agenda. Together with all levels of government across Europe, we commit to join efforts to fight the pandemic, protect our people and contribute to the economic, social and financial recovery.
