Welcome to the web page of the Conference of European regions with legislative power (REGLEG).

This co-operative venture of regions is focused on the achievement of an active role of those regions in the European Union, according to their competences and responsibilities.

The purpose of this website is to provide a link between the representatives of the regions with legislative power.

Presidency of Aragon 2010

In 2010, Marcelino Iglesias Ricou, president of the Government of Aragon assumed the presidency of the Conference of European Regions with Legislative Power (REGLEG):

“In 2010, the presidency's objective will be to give the regions a bigger role in European policies, not just as managers but also as stakeholders. Regions with legislative power already participate actively in the development of European policies; we should therefore continue to raise their profile and involvement in these matters.

Consequently, the work programme of the REGLEG Aragon presidency will focus mainly on the inter-institutional agenda, where we have identified priorities such as the implementation of the Lisbon Treaty, the Committee of the Regions' initiative on multilevel governance, participation in the debate on the future of the cohesion policy and the future EU 2020 strategy.

Furthermore, we wish to raise the profile of REGLEG, taking advantage of the Spanish and Belgian Presidencies of the Council, two countries that have regions with legislative powers.”

This action plan will culminate with the annual conference of presidents of regions with legislative power, which will take place in Zaragoza on 18-19 November.
