The Committee of the Regions is a body within the EU that consists of local and regional elected representatives. The Committee participates in the European legislative process as an advisory body by issuing opinions on matters that affect the local and regional governments. These opinions are taken into consideration by the EU-Commission, the Council, and the European Parliament in the legislative process.
The Danish delegation consists of 9 members and 9 substitutes in total. Of these, members of KL’s International Committee make up 6 members and 6 substitutes. The remaining members represent Danish Regions.
The work of the CoR is organized by six commissions that each cover a separate policy area. See the distribution of seats among KL’s members and substitutes below:
