“Simplification of local administration in Europe: levels and dimensions” conference

A seminar to shed new light on the impact of the economic crisis on the administrative organisation in Europe

The Observatory on Local Autonomy (OLA), together with the CEMR, welcome you to a conference on the impact of the economic crisis on the administrative organisation in Europe, and in particular on the rationalisation process of means and resources affecting local and regional levels.

The event entitled “Simplification of local administration in Europe: levels and dimensions” will take place in Bologna, on 30 and 31 October 2014. It will allow us to determine whether the economic crisis has upturned the established decentralised systems in Europe or, on the contrary, has led to administrative reforms in pursuit of administrative simplification.

The second day will be dedicated to an exchange with CEMR member associations on the establishment of a methodology that should lead to the publication, in 2016, of a book on the typology of local administration systems in Europe.
