➔➔ Organisation of the CoR The Committee of the Regions is a political assembly consisting of holders of a regional or local authority electoral mandate (e.g. mayors, regional presidents and members of municipal councils) and of members who are politically accountable to an elected assembly. It provides institutional representation for all the European Union’s territorial areas: regions, provinces and municipalities. The CoR has 350 members, and an equal number of alternate members. The members of the Committee are appointed by the European Council for a five year period in accordance with the proposals made by each Member State. The number of members from each EU country roughly reflects the size of its population. The members come together according to their political affiliation in five different political groups, ALDE being the third in size and frequently holding the balance of power.
