Thorbjørn Jagland: ''Co-operation between different layers of government are key for today’s financial challenges''
[20/03/2012]
''Solidarity and co-operation between partners and different layers of government are key words for dealing with today’s financial and other challenges; we must stand together and join our efforts in order to have strong and credible responses. This means a stronger and more concrete dialogue between governments, parliaments and local and regional authorities, and European institutions'', stated Thorbjørn Jagland, Secretary General of the Council of Europe, addressing the 22nd Session of the Congress on 20 March 2012 in Strasbourg (France). He also pointed to the key role of the Congress in providing concrete responses to issues facing Europe, in particular to addressing intercultural issues and to promoting living with cultural diversity. He welcomed, in addition, the Congress’s activities on Roma inclusion and contributions to last year's Kyiv Conference of Ministers for Local and Regional Government that approved an agenda in common for joint action between the national and local levels.

[20/03/2012]
''La solidarité et la coopération entre les partenaires et les différents niveaux de gouvernement sont deux mots d’ordre essentiels face aux difficultés financières et autres d’aujourd’hui. Nous devons faire preuve d’unité et conjuguer nos efforts pour apporter des réponses fortes et crédibles. Il faut pour cela engager un dialogue renforcé et plus concret entre les gouvernements, les parlements, les collectivités locales et régionales et les institutions européennes'', a déclaré Thorbjørn Jagland, Secrétaire Général du Conseil de l’Europe, devant le Congrès réuni pour sa 22e Session le 20 mars 2012 à Strasbourg (France). Il a aussi souligné le rôle essentiel du Congrès pour apporter des réponses concrètes aux problèmes auxquels l’Europe est confrontée, en particulier pour ce qui concerne les questions interculturelles et la promotion de la diversité culturelle. En outre, il a salué les activités du Congrès concernant l’inclusion des Roms, ainsi que ses contributions pour la Conférence des ministres européens responsables des collectivités locales et régionales tenue à Kiev l’an passé, qui a approuvé un agenda en commun pour une action conjointe des niveaux national et local.
