Last one before a short break!

The briefcases barely put aside and we are already thinking of the tight schedule waiting for us from the very beginning of September. Besides the consultation on the Communication (see headline article), PLATFORMA will participate in the preparation of the European Development Days with the Diputacio de Barcelona, of the Assises of decentralised cooperation, of a publication on local and regional authorities and development effectiveness and will continue its advocacy work in view of the adoption of the regulations for the 2014-2020 framework. With the vote of the committees’ reports in September, we will be able to more objectively evaluate to what extent the Parliament took our messages into account. In the meantime, until the next newsletter comes out at the end of September, the whole team wishes you an excellent summer holiday!
