Monitoring of grassroots democracy in Lithuania
[22/03/2012]
Allocation of sufficient resources to local authorities, entrenchment of the principle of subsidiarity in the law on self-government and encouragement of citizens to participate in local affairs are major issues suggested to the Lithuanian authorities by the Congress’s second monitoring report on the situation of local and regional democracy in this country. The report - which was adopted at the 22nd Congress Session - praises, in particular, the guarantees given in the constitution to the right to self-government for local authorities and progress made in consultation procedures between associations of local government and the federal level.
Suivi de la démocratie territoriale en Lituanie
[22/03/2012]
Allouer des ressources suffisantes aux collectivités locales, inscrire le principe de subsidiarité dans la loi sur l’autonomie locale et encourager la participation des citoyens au niveau local, telles sont les principales suggestions du Congrès à l’intention des autorités lituaniennes dans le deuxième rapport de suivi sur la situation de la démocratie locale et régionale dans ce pays. Ce rapport, adopté lors de la 22e session du Congrès, salue en particulier la garantie apportée par la Constitution au droit à l'autonomie pour les collectivités locales ainsi que les progrès réalisés concernant les procédures de consultation entre l’association des pouvoirs locaux et le niveau national.
