AFCCRE Conference “After the European Elections”


Following the local elections held in France in March and the European elections held in May 2014, the French Association of the Council of European Municipalities and Regions, AFCCRE organizes a conference in Nantes on the 11-12 of September with the title “After the European Elections: Discuss, Propose, Take action!”

 

As actors working on the closest level of citizens, AFCCRE reminds of the importance of involving local and regional authorities in a discussion on the European project and the place of citizens.  

 

Due to the renewal of staff in municipalities, members of the European Parliament, a new European Commission and the implementation of the new 2014-2020 programming of EU funds, 2014 constitute an important year.

 

In this context, AFCCRE organizes this conference to provide an opportunity for stakeholders working at local and regional level to get together and exchange ideas, learn about the functioning of European institutions and available structural funds and programs of support. 

 

The program offers 5 “Discussion-forums” on the following themes:

1)     Partnership between local authorities,

2)     Equality of women and men,

3)     European and international negotiations on climate and energy,

4)     European policies on social inclusion and Employment and

5)     Cooperation and Development.
