Thorbjørn Jagland: “We now have one single legal space for the local self-government in Europe”
[06/12/2013]
“The ratification by San Marino of the European Charter of Local Self-Government means that 100% of the Council of Europe 'territory' is now covered by the provisions of the Charter. We now have truly pan-European coverage and one single legal space for the local self-government in Europe”, welcomed Thorbjørn Jagland, Secretary General of the Council of Europe, addressing the 25th Congress Session on 29 October 2013. “I appreciate in particular the steps taken by the Congress to broaden political dialogue with member states at national, local and regional levels and welcome your decision to develop post-monitoring dialogue in order to work on the issues raised in your recommendations, and to help the authorities with their implementation”, he added. Secretary General Jagland also encouraged a further increase of the co-operation programmes of the Congress and their better integration with the different actors within the Council of Europe, such as a stronger involvement of the Congress in the country-specific Action Plan.
