02/09/2015 (Agence Europe) - EESC and CoR extend their administrative cooperation. On Tuesday 1 September, the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) and the Committee of the Regions (CoR) signed a new four-year agreement that “will enhance cooperation and lead to major savings for EU taxpayers”, according to a press release published the following day. The agreement will thus enable ongoing cooperation to continue on the joint functioning of two directorates that act as service providers for both the EESC and the CoR in the areas of translation and logistics - including IT, building management and sustainable environmental management procedures (EMAS). The second objective mentioned involves “jointly running a library and information centre, cooperation between their health services [and] meeting room management”. (JK)
