Have your say on the ‘Right to Stay’ Strategy

Last updated on Thursday, 21/05/2026

The European Commission has published a call for feedback to further develop and fine-tune this strategy. You can still share your views until 5 June 2026.

The Right to Stay strategy is a flagship policy framework designed to ensure that all Europeans can remain and build their future in the place they call home, rather than being forced to relocate due to economic decline or lack of opportunities and essential services.

Taking you feedback into account, the Commission aims to identify:

• the key challenges communities face on their right to stay;
• EU policies, programmes and initiatives that help ensure the right to stay;
• examples of regional and local solutions;
• suggestions on how to make EU regions and territories more attractive and competitive.

Share your views to shape the ‘Right to Stay’ Strategy via this call for evidence by 5 June.
