The President of the European Commission, Imanol Pradales, expressed his satisfaction today that the European Commission will adopt this afternoon's opinion on the development of the Atlantic macro-region , which will enable them to 'continue to meet the deadlines' and allow the project to be implemented by June next year.

The President shall participate in the plenary session of the European Commission of the Regions, which shall discuss and vote on the opinion on progress towards the Atlantic macro-region strategy.

"In the process of making the dream of setting up a macro-region a reality, many people have rowed for eight years and today\u00An opinion will be adopted to keep the project going," Pradales told the media from Brussels.



The aim of the proposal promoted by the Basque Country is to improve relations between the territories that share the waters of the Atlantic and, as the Lehendakari stressed, 'to cooperate to make the Atlantic axis stronger in Europe and in the world'.

'It is important to be in Brusselsbecause the Basque agenda must also be in Brussels, 'said Pradales, who recalled that 'decisive months are coming 'because, among other things, the European Union's budgets for the next seven years, the reindustrialisation of Europe and the integration of capital markets will be discussed.

During his working trip to Brussels, Pradales met with the Vice-President responsible for the European Commission, Raffaele Fitto, and the President of the European Council, Antonio Costa, and will meet this afternoon with the President of the Committee of the Regions, Kata Tüttere.
