Posilování principu subsidiarity jako jeden z faktorů růstu vlivu regionů v rozhodovacích procesech Evropské unie
Boosting Local and Regional Authorities Involvement in the European Union Decision-making Process in the Post-crisis Period

Summary/Abstract: Increasing the role of regional authorities will be a priority in the next stage of the EU's growth and jobs strategy. This is a remarkable moment, when local and regional authorities can directly express their opinions to Brussels about the Lisbon strategy. Regional representatives play a key role in this process. They present the interests of the region and are significant players in the promotion and implementation of the objectives of the cohesion policy. The cohesion policy is among to the most important EU policies according to its meaning and volume of funds. Without underestimating the position of the national level, many problems are best solved at a functional level, whether this is at local, regional or transnational. So the cohesion policy with cooperation of national bodies should retain and indeed reinforce the role of cities, regional and local players.
