The Council of European Municipalities and Regions (CEMR), EUROCITIES and the G4 EU Office are organising a network reception to be held on Wednesday 6 October 2010, from 18:00 to 20:30, at the House of Cities, Municipalities and Regions in Brussels.

 

After a day of Open Days seminars, debates and workshops, this event will serve as an ideal opportunity to exchange, network and forge new working relationships in an informal and relaxed atmosphere.

 

This event is open to all CEMR, EUROCITIES and G4 members, as well as to local and regional government representatives and high level officials from the European institutions. Johannes Hahn, commissioner for regional policy, will be joining us later during the evening.
