Recital 18

(18) Member States, in consultation with local and regional authorities, economic and social partners and relevant civil society organisations, are best placed to design, implement and, where relevant, amend Plans that are adapted and targeted to their local, regional and national circumstances, their existing policies in the relevant areas and planned use of other relevant Union funds. A public consultation of stakeholders should take place every time the Commission is required to assess a Plan. In that manner, the broad diversity of situations, the specific knowledge of local and regional governments, economic and social partners, relevant civil society organisations, research and innovation institutions, industrial stakeholders and social dialogue representatives, as well as national circumstances can best be reflected and contribute to the effectiveness and efficiency of the overall support to the vulnerable.
