The Council of the European Union has been officially notified of the resignation of a substitute member of the European Committee of the Regions from Germany. The notification, transmitted via a note from the Committee's Secretary-General to the Council's Secretary-General on 7 July 2026, references an attached letter from the Committee (IM 4541 2026).
The resignation creates a vacancy among the German substitute members of the Committee, which may require the appointment of a replacement by the relevant German authorities. The European Committee of the Regions, composed of representatives of regional and local authorities from EU member states, relies on its members to provide input on EU legislation affecting regions and cities. The notification ensures that the Committee's composition remains accurate and that procedural transparency between EU institutions is maintained.
