The 2013 edition of the annual magazine �The State of the Congress� has just been published. It presents the core activities carried out by the Congress in 2013, notably the monitoring of the implementation of the European Charter of Local Self-Government and the observation of local and regional elections, as well as targeted assistance programmes. Topical issues are analysed in detail, in particular the impact of the current economic crisis on cities and regions and Roma inclusion at local level. In addition, a special edition dedicated to the 20th Anniversary of the Congress is also available. It includes a �posthumous� interview with Jacques Chaban-Delmas, the first president of the Conference of Local Authorities of Europe, the predecessor of the Congress, and the speech he gave on 12 January 1957 at the opening of its first session. Former Presidents of the Congress have also contributed to this magazine by sharing their experience and thoughts on the Congress�s main achievements during their tenure.
