8 June 2010
Forum: Local and regional responses to poverty and social exclusion
In the context of the 'European Year for Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion', the Committee of the Regions invites public authorities, organisations and EU institutions to exchange good practice and expertise on innovative approaches combating poverty and social exclusion at local level. Even in view of somewhat brighter economic forecasts at the end of 2009, the sharp increase of public budget deficits and an expected increase of unemployment will possibly cause serious consequences in 2010 for Europe's regions and cities.

WHEN: 8 th June
WHERE: Committee of the Regions, Brussels
