FACTORS AFFECTING EU LOCAL SELF-GOVERNANCE SYSTEMS

Abstract

Improved efficiency of execution of EU activities is more and more dependant from local and regional authorities’ capability of implementation of decisions and law to society. From one side it is connected with administrative and financial possibilities of local and regional level. One of the basic roles of decision making close to the citizens is larger accountability and responsibility, which leads to more effective use of public resources. Expectations are that decreasing of central control and acquisition of higher level of financial independence to regional and local authorities will improve efficiency.
