A working lunch with my counterpart in the Committee of the Regions, Gerhard Stahl, together with the heads of our respective secretariats. These working lunches are regular occurrences and are part of the overall structure of cooperation between the two consultative institutions which, as regular readers will know, have undertaken a revolutionary exercise in pooling a significant part of their resources into what we call the ‘joint services’, with a view to achieving economies of scale. We exchange information and share views on matters of common concern and generally seek to facilitate cooperation between the two administrations. Today we had a full and varied agenda, but it was, as usual, an entirely constructive meeting.
