Committee of the Regions (COR)
Committee of the Regions (COR) : Set up in 1994, this European institution, created by the Treaty of Maastricht (1992), aims to increase the participation of European regions in community life. The CoR is composed of 344 representatives of regional and local governments. The Committee has a consultative character, and its opinion is requested by the Council or the European Commission on the following issues: education; training; culture; public health; the fight against drugs; trans-European networks; social and economic cohesion; and structural funds. On certain issues, the CoR works in consultation with the European Economic and Social Committee. See: European Economic and Social Committee (EESC)
