Markku MARKKULA, President of the European Committee of the Regions: CoR Proudly Sponsors Best News Report Category in Prix CIRCOM

"Cities and regions are the EU's frontline for creating new opportunities and resolving shared challenges as they are responsible for transforming up to 70 % of Brussels laws into concrete action. Our European Committee of the Regions' Members – regional Presidents, city Mayors and local Councillors from all Member States - work tirelessly to provide the best quality of life for the citizens. The role of regional television in bringing news – political, economic and cultural - to the people quickly and accurately is vital for our societies. We are therefore very proud to sponsor the CIRCOM award for Best News Report in the 2016 Prix CIRCOM Regional."
