The newly elected President of the Committee of the Regions, Mercedes Bresso (IT/PES), has invited the Assembly to be more courageous in pursuing its political aims. The leader hailed the enormous political progress the institution has made in 15 years and underlined its key mission to effectively represent the common interest of all sub-national authorities in Europe. "The institutional debate is over. It's time to bring the Treaty of Lisbon to life. We will no longer just ask that regional and local authorities are taken into consideration. We will not just be the yes-man. We will enter the political debate with substantial proposals and we will not – if it is required - shy away from political controversy."
