ESRA is a collaboration of 36 European regions, which aims to identify and help remove obstacles to the strategic development of the sector by improving the legislative framework, promoting public and private investments, supporting knowledge sharing and the creation and maintenance of strong and sustainable value chains. The second General Assembly of ESRA was held in Brussels on 3 July. In this context, Council of Oulu Region\u2019s membership was confirmed. The meeting was held at the premises of the EU Committee of the Regions, and the opening speech of the meeting was given by the President of the Committee of the Regions, Ms. Kata T\u00fctt\u0151. Speaking at the meeting, Pierre Chastanet, Director of the Microelectronics and Photonics Industry Unit of the European Commission DG Connect, emphasized that the corona period revealed the dependence and vulnerability of the EU and the regions on the supplies of a few companies and third countries. In order to improve resilience and increase its self-sufficiency, the EU launched legislation on chips, the EU Chips Act. Its purpose is to improve the EU's relative position in competition with, for example, China and the United States. Chip production is directly linked to the EU's economic and digital sovereignty and competitiveness. The semiconductor and microelectronics industry has been elevated to a key industry sector at the EU level for future competitiveness.

Preparations for the EU\u2019s long-term budget for the years 2028\u20132034 are underway, and Oulu Region\u2019s advocacy actors want to ensure that the needs of Northern Finland are taken into account from the very beginning. The current \u20ac1 200 billion multiannual financial framework is valid until 2027. This week, Region Mayor of the Oulu Region Jussi R\u00e4met, Oulu Mayor Ari Alatossava and University of Oulu Rector Arto Maaninen visited Brussels for an intensive round of advocacy. Their schedule included meetings with, among others, the European Commission\u2019s Directorate-General for Regional developement, Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs, Finnish Members of the European Parliament, and the cabinet of Commissioner Henna Virkkunen. \u201cThe Commission's goal is to make the budget simpler, more flexible, and more impactful. This is a commendable aim, but at the same time, we must ensure the regions retain their ability to influence. Cohesion policy is vital for Northern Finland \u2013 if Finland receives only single national funding package for cohesion and agriculture, we must ensure that the needs of Eastern and Northern Finland are addressed. The special status of Northern sparsely populated areas must be safeguarded so that all of Finland can develop in a balanced way\u201d,\u00a0Jussi R\u00e4met emphasized. Northern Finland well-positioned to benefit from EU Competitiveness plans The new Commission\u2019s political priorities include defence and security, sustainable prosperity, and social justice. In the Oulu region, particular attention is being paid to the Commission's proposed Competitiveness Compass, which focuses on innovation, the green transition, and security \u2013 all of which are key themes in region's EU advocacy. \u201cEU funding is crucial for research, development and innovation.
