"I would like to welcome the initiative on compiling a report on the subject of good local and regional governance, as well as the importance of the notion of partnership between the four or more levels of power: local, regional, national and European. Any encounter with representatives of the local authorities elected directly by the people highlights, on most occasions, differences in the way European policies are handled between these levels of authority.
Without establishing a policy of real partnership between all these bodies of authority, uninfluenced by political partisanship which has no connection with subsidiarity, the efforts made by both the European Parliament and the other European institutions will not achieve the desired concrete results and effectiveness. We are sufficiently familiar with the conflicts and poorly understood rivalry between the representatives of the different political parties in power at different levels of administration, which results, on most occasions, in European citizens being deprived of the benefits of the European projects being decided on in this EP forum. This is why I voted in favour of the report, in the expectation that regional policies will be given the importance they deserve."@en1
