Over 70 Years After the Treaties of Rome: Highlighting the Role of Regions and Local Authorities in EU Policies
In today’s dynamic political landscape, the importance of regional governance can’t be overstated. The upcoming EU Local Dialogue, organized by the Conference of the Presidents of Regional Assemblies, is set to shine a spotlight on this very aspect. Supported by the esteemed CoR member Antonio Aurigemma and the Italian Delegation at the CoR, this event promises to be influential.
A Historic Venue for a Crucial Discussion
Taking place at the historic Palazzo Senatorio in Campidoglio on the eve of the 2025 Ukraine Recovery Conference in Rome, this gathering is as symbolic as it is strategic. Welcoming notable figures like CoR President Kata Tüttő and Italy’s Minister of EU Affairs, this conference aims to underscore the pivotal role that regions and local authorities play in shaping and implementing EU policies.
The Legacy of the Treaty of Rome
Seventy years after the signing of the Treaty of Rome in 1957, we find ourselves reflecting on the evolution of EU governance. The aim of this event is clear: to advocate for a substantial role of Regions and Local Authorities in shaping future EU policies. As the landscape of governance evolves, the significance of regional input becomes ever more apparent.
Engaging All Italian Regions
The collaboration of all Italian Regions and their respective Regional Legislative Assemblies is crucial. Their contributions will spur robust discussions, fostering innovative ideas and initiatives for a multilevel governance structure that is truly service-oriented and reflective of the citizens’ needs. By bringing local voices into the conversation, we can work towards a governance model that resonates with all layers of society.
Conclusion: A Call to Action
The upcoming EU Local Dialogue is not just another conference — it is a call to action. It invites stakeholders at all levels to participate in shaping a future that prioritizes local voices and regional aspirations within the broader EU framework. As we reflect on the past, let us also forge a path forward that genuinely serves the citizens of Europe.
