On the 5th February 2014,Strasbourg, Martin Schulz, European Parliament President, Henri Malosse, European Economic and Social Committee President, and Ramon Luis Valcárcel Siso, Committee of the Regions President, signed an important agreement between their three institutions. Faced with a need to do more to listen to the views of the European public, as set out in the Treaty of Lisbon, the three institutions wished to step up their cooperation and optimise their resources so as to ensure a quality response to what is happening on the ground and thus improve the effectiveness of legislation.
