Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We have already had a taste of Danish culture via NOMA, recognised as the best restaurant in the world for two years running by the UK's Restaurants magazine for putting Nordic cuisine back on the map. Though merely whetting our appetites, this taster has confirmed Denmark's influential contribution to our continent's cultural wealth. Happily, Denmark's contribution to the European Union is far more extensive and will, undoubtedly, be in the spotlight throughout the first half of 2012! A modern state, where European and international sea routes converge, Denmark has frequently drawn on its talents and flourishing economy to make its own, distinctive mark. It is in tune with the priorities for 2020: competitiveness, social inclusion and the need for ecologically sustainable change. The Danish economy has also followed a successful recipe, combining the flexibility needed to adapt to globalisation, in particular through its exports, with the preservation of a model based on social cohesion. If international surveys are to be believed, this has made it the happiest country in the world.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Italian government is taking over the Presidency of the Council at the dawn of a new political mandate of the European Parliament and new European Commission College. European citizens have just expressed their opinion on the political options to guide the European project from the European Parliament; the result showed that the EU integration process is questioned by about one fifth of the European electorate, albeit for various different reasons. To characterise the election result as a rejection of the European Union is thus not accurate, despite vocal electoral campaigns and several national governments positioning themselves as champions to reduce the role of the Union. Indeed, there is another Europe calling for more cohesion, solidarity and for a better Europe governing in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity: regional and local authorities keep enjoying the added value of the integration and their voice should be not forgotten. For instance, the most crucial task ahead for the EU is to deliver on growth, jobs and cohesion, whilst EU institutions should seek stronger involvement from regional and local authorities. It is a crucial moment for the Committee of the Regions (CoR) to highlight the important role that regional and local authorities play in reinforcing European democracy and to ensure growth and jobs are created, and that measures are put in place and delivered on the ground.

Book excerpt: The Committee of the Regions will support the work of the Greek Presidency at local and regional level. The Greek Presidency of the Council of the European Union starts at a critical time, just a few months ahead of the European Parliament elections and at the beginning of the new regional and investment funds programming period 2014-2020, during which we hope to witness the end of the crisis in Europe. Reforms undertaken within Member States appear to be bearing fruit and I am convinced that the Greek Presidency will help move Europe further along the path to sustainable recovery.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Irish Presidency of the Council of the European Union comes at a key moment for the future of the European integration process as a whole. There is a need to take bold measures to ensure that we do not lose momentum in the considerable progress made in economic, social and territorial cohesion, the success of the Common Market and the creation of a strong European Monetary Union. At the same time we have to be aware that the role of the European Union in the world is largely dependent on our ability to draw the right conclusions from the challenges of globalisation and new emerging markets in other parts of the world.

Book excerpt: The European Union is not only a union of nation states, but also a union of regions and cities. The European Committee of the Regions (CoR) is the only European institution through which regional and local politicians participate in European decision-making processes. Its task is to assess in concrete terms how European Union legislative projects will affect citizens in the regions and cities. The members of the CoR are committed to ensuring that the concerns, needs and challenges of the regions and cities and thus of the citizens on the ground are heard in Brussels. The 24 full and 24 alternate members of the German delegation to the CoR are representatives of the Länder and local authorities, legitimised by elections. They vote on CoR decisions in the plenary assembly. At the same time, they participate actively in the six CoR commissionsss and constitute three members of the CoR Bureau, which decides on the CoR's political priorities. In this brochure, we present the members of the German delegation and their work in the CoR. The brochure is published on the occasion of the German Presidency of the Council of the European Union in the second half of 2020. The agenda of this Presidency is focused on issues that will have an impact well beyond the six months of the German Presidency. Major challenges set the course for the future of the European Union. The Conference on the Future of Europe is a key instrument and a unique opportunity for the European Union to reflect on its future structure, its political objectives and the relationship with its citizens. For the CoR, the key question is the role of regions and cities in the future European Union. Regional and local politicians play a crucial role in the relationship between the European Union and its citizens. Metaphorically speaking, they are the hinge between these two levels. The members of the CoR combine their regional or local function in their home country with the task of making their expertise and the voice of the people on the ground heard in European politics. At the same time, they communicate the political decisions of the European Union to the regional and local level. In my view, the European Union can only become stronger if greater importance is attached to this mediating function of regional and local politicians in its future structure.
