Source: Committee on Regional Development (REGI) i, published on Friday, June 22 2018.

On Monday, 25 June 2018, the Members of the REGI committee will vote during an extraordinary meeting on the draft report: "Structural reform support programme 2017-2020: financial envelope and general objective" (2017/0334(COD)) amending the Structural Reform Support Programme (SRSP). The rapporteur, Ms Ruža Tomašić (ECR), considers that the budget increase is justified and that the extension of the programme to projects supporting preparations for euro area membership will bring benefits. The amendments she proposes concentrate on strengthening the concept of European added value for SRSP projects and on the importance of involving regional and local authorities. The committee will also adopt a mandate for negotiations, which will be announced in July Plenary session.
