Abstract

The participation of the local and regional authorities in EU processes should be promoted and enhanced by the EU, the Member States and the same local/regional authorities. These should perform a stronger role in the constitutional architecture of the EU. In this way they would contribute more effectively to a limited, balanced and le-gitimate system of governance based on constitutionalism within the EU. The participation of sub-national authorities in the EU has the po-tential to reconcile European integration with the multi-level systems of governance of the Member States; to strengthen the legitimacy of EU and national (EU-related) decision-making processes; to reinforce the legal limitation of the decision-making power of both Union insti-tutions and national authorities.
