Ms Hübner, responsible for regional policy, was particularly attentive to the Committee’s activities: she addressed the April session, giving the Committee an opportunity to put the spotlight on the economic and social cohesion policy; she then stood in at the last minute for Vice-President Wallström at the July session, where she called for the new protocol of cooperation between the Commission and the Committee to be signed in the autumn, and informed the Committee that the Commission would be attentive to its contributions and proposals in the context of its communication policy; and at the October session she highlighted the key role played by the towns and the regions in relation to regional policy and the Lisbon agenda.
