Kommunale Selbstverwaltung in der EU – Spielräume im Europäischen Verwaltungsverbund

European Union law does not provide a specific role for the local authorities. Neither are they integrated as democratic actors in the multi-level-governance nor taken as part of the European composite administration nor have powers and responsabilities been assigned to them which relate to their specific character as self-governing bodies.

This surprises from a German perspective given the importance the Basic law attaches to them. Taking into account the European Charter of Local Self-Government and the existing local authorities in the other member states it seems to be obvious to take the local authorities into account in the law of the EU, too. The democratic potential of these small entities should be used by the European Union, as its democratic legitimacy still is perceived to be less assured than that of the member states. The schemes of financial aid by the structural funds of the EU provide for a good example in this respect.

Growth Potential for Energy-from-Waste Plant Operators in the European Union and Beyond
© Thomé-Kozmiensky Verlag GmbH (9/2016)
Across Europe, there is growing recognition that energy, raw materials, environmental and security policy can all be components of an interdependent policy strategy, and that waste management also plays a role at the intersection of these policies. The European Commission is currently preparing a Communication which will explore the contribution that energy from waste (EfW) can make to the European Energy Union. The Energy Union is designed to reduce the EU’s reliance on energy from Russia, following the dramatic events in Ukraine. The EU’s strategic energy and security goals create an opportunity to implement the longstanding EU waste Management targets, particularly with regard to landfilling.

Waste poses a major problem area as well as a great business potential in countries throughout the globe. Therefore, cross-regional collaboration between leading companies, universities, and public authorities is not only necessary to overcome problems of environmental degradation and pollution; it is also good business for everyone. The Coolsweep project aims to support the development of these cross-regional partnerships by establishing research driven collaboration between leading European stakeholders within waste-to-energy. The project partners include five major European cleantech cluster organisations, two universities and one cluster analysis organisation deriving from Italy, Spain, Denmark, Austria, Norway, and Latvia.
