EU budget ceiling : European local and regional organisations support Romano Prodi
On 18 Decembre 2003, the secretary generals of four European organisations of local and regional authorities sent a letter to President of the European Commission, Romano Prodi.
In it, they expressed their support to his stance following the letter from six EU Member States advocating a reduced ceiling of 1% of GDP for the EU's future budget.
The Association of European Border regions (AEBR), the Conference of Peripheral Maritime Regions (CRPM), Eurocities and the Council of European Municipalities and Regions expressed their strongest opposition to the statement from these six Member States.
