 In the Committee of the Regions, I'm representing North and West Failure. It's a region with a long-standing tradition of structural change. We exited hard coal mining last year and we are now facing the exit from lignite mining as well. What we know from these experiences is that you have to start very early to plan for the socio-economic transformation. The jobs in the coal industry are well paid, they offer a perspective, they give people a living and we owe those people a decent perspective for their lives if we enter this kind of structural change. In Europe we still have 41 regions that produce coal and all these regions will be affected by our goal to achieve the climate goals. We will abandon the mining of coal in the mid to long-term perspective and we have to offer those regions who share the burden of this our help and support. There is already a lot going on also on the European level but I think and that's the gist and the core of my opinion that we have to offer additional funds for helping those regions getting on with the transformation process. I think what we also need is new rules for state aid to offer these regions new perspective in small and medium enterprises in innovation. Not all regions are the same, they are very different in the north and the south whether it's in Greece and Czech Republic, whether it's in Germany where I'm from, whether it's in Spain they are all different. They share the same challenge but they are different in structure and that's why we need tailor-made approaches to these regions and the regions know best what is the right way into the future and what is the right way forward. I also think that we have to intensify the discussion among coal regions. I really welcome the fact that there is the coal region and transition platform on the EU level. I think we have to structure that debate within the committee of the regions and to build a new inter-regional platform of all coal regions affected to really bring forward the discussion because it's an all-European effort we have to tackle jointly.
