If you ask Schouten (GroenLinks) about the Committee of the Regions (CoR), she immediately jumps up. The Utrecht representative is happy that this is being asked, because it does not happen that often. A shame, she thinks. “Because many of the European regulations ultimately descend on regions and cities via the government. So it has a huge influence on us.”
This Nieuwegein councilor travels to Brussels every month to represent the region: what does she do there?
