Opinion of the Committee of the Regions on cross-border public services

In February 2021, the European Committee of the Regions published an opinion entitled “Cross-Border Public Services in Europe”, for which the rapporteur is Pavel Branda (ECR/CZ), Deputy Mayor of Rádlo (Czech Republic).

The opinion highlights the advantages of providing public services across borders and urges for a stronger legal framework, permanent structures such as cross-border contact points as well as financial support through the REACT-EU initiative.

The opinion supports the planned European Cross-Border Mechanism (ECBM), proposed by the European Commission in 2018.
