CEMR - Council of European Municipalities and Regions
Company Description
The Council of European Municipalities and Regions (CEMR) is the oldest and broadest European association of local and regional government. We are the only organisation that brings together the national associations of local and regional authorities from 41 European countries and represents, through them, all levels of territories – local, intermediate and regional.
Since its creation in 1951, CEMR promotes the construction of a united, peaceful and democratic Europe founded on local self-government, respect for the principle of subsidiarity and the participation of citizens. Our work is organised around two main pillars:
- Influencing European policy and legislation in all areas having an impact on municipalities and regions;
- Providing a forum for debate between local and regional authorities via their national representative associations.
CEMR is also the European section of the world organisation United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG), through which we represent European local and regional government on the international stage.
What we do
CEMR’s work focuses on five thematic areas, which affect all aspects of the lives of European citizens as well as the local and regional authorities that represent them:
- Democracy, citizenship and enlargement
- Resource efficiency and environment
- Partnership, cooperation and world affairs
- Economic, social and territorial cohesion
- Local and regional governments as employers and service providers
- CEMR statutory affairs, CEMR general affairs
