Excerpt from tenerifeweekly.com

Raffaele Fitto, Executive Vice-President of Cohesion and Reforms for the European Union, will visit the Canary Islands in the first half of the year to understand their unique characteristics as an Outermost Region (OMR) amid ongoing discussions on the new multiannual financial framework for 2028-34.

This announcement was made on Monday by Alfonso Cabello, spokesperson for the Canary Islands Government, during a press conference to outline the agreements from the Government Council. He emphasised that the visit will provide “another boost” for defending the OMR status and ensuring that these regions do not become “diluted” within the new multiannual framework.
