 Yes the most important thing is to realize our priorities simultaneously because now it's the time of recovery as we all know we the mayors of the cities are now dealing with COVID and we are fighting with the epidemic but we cannot lose our priorities from sight and obviously green deal is still one of the most important priorities that we have to implement and if we really want to improve the quality of life if really want to invest in innovativeness and if we of course want to save the earth this has to remain our priority and we the regional authorities we the mayors of the cities are very much committed some of our governments are not that much committed some of our governments are now just focusing on COVID and we are of course fighting COVID but we are also looking into the future and that's the position of the committee of the regions and I've been at numerous occasions actually coming up with this thinking and trying to convince everyone all the stakeholders in order to take exactly the same position the green the green on climate pact should actually enable us to cooperate closely between the local and regional authorities and the european institutions that's why we are actually pushing the climate back forwards because we want all the stakeholders to cooperate with each other and of course the pact should act as an umbrella initiative with its own branding for the existing and future local climate packs as they evolve now some of the most important things that I always that I always try to highlight is the question of funding and that's why we are fighting as the representatives of the committee of the regions for providing a direct funding to cities and regional authorities under the umbrella of the climate pact why because we want the results to be quick to be palpable to be seen by the population so that we can actually make sure that there is the win-win situation is recognized by everyone and that's why we would urge the european commission to come up with pan-european programs and I always give the same examples such as saving energy through cyber solutions such as taking the diesel powered buses from the streets of our cities and so on and so forth and then realize them together directly with the concerned cities through providing the direct funding and of course most of the money will be still channels to states by national envelopes but we should provide for as much direct financing as possible such possibilities already exist in the structure funds and we've been fighting for them to be more ample but once we start working and finishing the recovery instruments and also the green instruments we should take care that this direct funding is being provided we should also put the education at the center of the whole exercise to create a new culture of environment and climate protection we are doing it as a mayor of the cities because we invest in the young people who are fighting for climate change and we are investing in all of those who are actually doing their utmost to educate the population and finally the climate pact should further develop all of the possibilities of the regional authorities to cooperate and of course we in the committee of the regions are very much consolidated and we have a common position thanks to your work but we need to support the continent of mayors the euro cities in order to strengthen our position as the position of the local and regional authorities in the negotiations with the other european institutions because it is very important that position of the committee of the regions is reinforced and that we listened to in these difficult times where we the cities the regions are at the forefront of fighting with coveted and where we want to participate in recovery and to actually play at the same time simultaneously at different pianos i wanted to thank you very much for all your supports for all the work that you've channeled through as the members of the committee of the regions into supporting my opinion and in supporting our opinion and we hope that the impact that we are making together on the european institutions will be effective and that finally some of our ideas will be put into practice through the institutional negotiations thank you very much
