Governance and citizenship

The Council of European Municipalities and Regions (CEMR), in cooperation with its French section, the AFCCRE, is organising 'Bordeaux 2010 - A time to reflect!", from 28 to 29 October 2010, in Bordeaux.

 

Through this high-level event, CEMR hopes to open up a debate on its role and that of its member associations in an ever-changing European context. It also aims to provide a forum for reflection between the different levels of governance in Europe.

 

Among the topics to be discussed is the place of local and regional authorities in the new European governance and the solutions put forward by local and regional authorities when facing the new global challenges.

 

Some 200 mayors, presidents of regions, European local and regional elected representatives and presidents of national associations representing European local and regional authorities are to participate in this event, hosted by the City of Bordeaux and the Aquitaine Region.
