BUREAU OF THE
EUROPEAN COMMITTEE ON LOCAL AND REGIONAL DEMOCRACY
(CDLR)
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE UTRECHT AGENDA
Secretariat Memorandum

Introduction
The purpose of this document is to provide a basis for the Bureau to discuss at its meeting on 5 July 2010 the implementation of the Utrecht Agenda and the proposals to be submitted to the CDLR to that effect for its meeting in October 2010.
It may be recalled that at Utrecht Ministers voted to establish the priority to be given to the challenges the CDLR had identified in the field of local and regional democracy. The results of the vote, included in the Utrecht Agenda (part III of the Utrecht Declaration), were as follows:
1. Managing the impact of the current financial/economic crisis
- Addressing the low level of democratic participation in public life at local and regional level
- Reducing the complexity and cost of the current system of local and regional government and enhancing its efficiency
- Enhancing the capacity for and quality of governance in local and regional communities or authorities
- Addressing the impact of demographic/migration trends
- Improving access to public services delivered at local and regional level
- Making it easier for local and regional authorities to co-operate across frontiers
- Addressing territorial inequalities between and within local and regional authorities
- Addressing the growing divide between rural and urban areas
- Strengthening social cohesion and acting against the increase of political and religious radicalisation
- Fighting corruption in local and regional authorities
- Addressing the growing impact of the digital divide on citizen participation
- Addressing the expansion of big conurbations at the expense of medium/small sized cities and villages.
In the Utrecht Declaration the Ministers request the Committee of Ministers to adopt annual programmes of activities for the Council of Europe in the years 2010 – 2013 enabling the full implementation of the Utrecht Agenda.
On 25 November 2009 the Committee of Ministers adopted the Programme of Activities for the year 2010 which includes the implementation of the Utrecht Agenda (for 2010) under Chapter III Democracy and Good Governance, Line of Action III.1.2. Local and regional democracy.
At the meeting in March 2010 the CDLR adopted its programme of activities 2010-2013, as instructed by Ministers in Utrecht. Subsequently, the programme of activities was a subject of an in-debt review at the meetings of the three sub-committees (LR-GG, LR-IC and LR-FS). The sub-committees agreed the objectives, expected impact, time-frame, partners and rapporteurs for the activities.
The Appendix I is an overview of the activities of the CDLR for 2010-2013 to implement the Utrecht Agenda. The document included the activities stemming directly from the Utrecht Declaration and activities proposed by the member states in the replies to the questionnaire, supplemented with proposals by the Bureau, CDLR and the sub-committees (LR-GG, LR-IC and LR-FS).
The Appendix II presents summary of the CDLR activities vis-à-vis challenges identified at Utrecht. This table shows the seven highest priority challenges and gives understandable notion on how the activities and outputs address each them.
Appendix III puts forward the other strands of action identified in CDLR terms of reference, notably the Centre of Expertise for Local Government Reform, Strategy for Innovation and Good Governance at Local Level, legislative and policy assistance and co-operation programmes and the European Local Democracy Week, vis-à-vis seven priority challenges identified at Utrecht.
Appendix IV is an overview of other CDLR activities further to the Utrecht Declaration that are ongoing or will be implemented in 2010-2013. The document include description of activity, objective and expected impact, time-frame, sub-committee, rapporteurs, partners and actions to be taken.

The Bureau is invited to:
- to give Appendices I, II, III and IV an in-depth review and to give further guidance to the Secretariat for implementation of activities;
- to hold an initial exploratory discussion and give guidance to the Secretariat for preparing a document for the CDLR concerning overview of the activities;
