After the conference organized in the CoR devoted to healthy lifestyles, Mr. Banaszak acting in capacity of the Executive Chair of the Interregional group on Health met Commissioner Dalli. The meeting addressed the need of closer cooperation between the European Commission and the Committee of the Regions with respect to public heath. Joint organization of the conference during the forthcoming OPEN-DAYS, which was second topic discussed during the meeting, can be seen as a concrete result reflecting the will to tighten interinstitutional collaboration regarding public health.
