Panel
The panel will bring together representatives from the TRAN Committee in the European Parliament, the European Commission - DG MOVE, and selected experts and decision makers from the Interreg Med Urban Transport and Sustainable Tourism communities. The debate will be complemented by interventions from the City of Malaga, the Interreg Med Joint Secretariat and EUROCITIES.
