SUMMARY:AER General Assembly & Autumn Bureau
DESCRIPTION:1-2 December 2015 – Brussels (BE) \nAER elections & political discussion on\n“Facing the migration and refugee challenges”\n\nKey issue\n“The world is facing an unprecedented magnitude of people on the move”. This undeniable fact is not only challenging public leaders and governments of all political levels on how to manage this migration and refugee crisis. More than that it challenges the social cohesion of our societies and puts into question our values and democracies as such. \nGiven that it is local and regional authorities that are confronted directly with the welcoming\, integration and management of this migration flow\, AER’s December Bureau meeting focussed on this topic.Regions from various geographic backgrounds of Europe will share their stories\, the situations they are in\, the difficulties they have faced and the solutions and strategies they came up with in order to cope with the situation. The purpose of this bureau meeting was to engage in a dialogue and exchange between regional decision and policy makers. Given AER’s member regions broad geographic diversity\, new insights as well as a political statement were generated. \n\nDownload the conclusions from the Bureau meeting\n\nDownload the minutes of the General Assembly\n\nDownload the speakers’ presentations\n[useyourdrive dir=”0B94jJjQLXnl-QmJ6S0Y3ZEJ5WDA” mode=”files” viewrole=”administrator|author|contributor|editor|subscriber|guest” downloadrole=”administrator|author|contributor|editor|subscriber|guest”]\n\n Related articles:\n\nHande Özsan Bozatli is re-elected unanimously for her second mandate\nBureau concludes talks on the refugee crisis\nNewly elected Executive Board will focus on “Revitalising democracy” in 2016\nReport on regionalisation: trends and challenges\nMathieu Mori is appointed Secretary General\n\n\nPhotos from the Bureau\n[useyourdrive dir=”0B94jJjQLXnl-ZlFEV3kxZllyeW8″ mode=”gallery” includeext=”gif|jpg|jpeg|png|bmp” viewrole=”administrator|author|contributor|editor|subscriber|guest”]\n\n Photos from the GA\n[useyourdrive dir=”0B94jJjQLXnl-TkNTMndOZ3p4dUU” mode=”files” viewrole=”administrator|author|contributor|editor|subscriber|guest” downloadrole=”administrator|author|contributor|editor|subscriber|guest”]\n\n Photos from the networking reception\n[useyourdrive dir=”0B94jJjQLXnl-elhtNXlRSFNQcUU” mode=”files” viewrole=”administrator|author|contributor|editor|subscriber|guest” downloadrole=”administrator|author|contributor|editor|subscriber|guest”]\n\n Programme of events\nGeneral Assembly\, 1 December\, 13.00-17.30\nCoR\, Jacques Delors building\, rue Belliard 99-101\, 1040 Brussels\nThe GA will be a crucial milestone for AER at the end of this year both for statutory reasons with the elections of the Executive Board and Bureau\, the approval of the 2014 accounts but also to confirm our role on monitoring the State of the Regions in Europe. We will present our new report on regionalisation in Europe which is the collaborative product of our dedicated team of experts from across Europe. You will find enclosed the draft agenda of the General Assembly. \n\nAnnual Networking Reception\, 1 December\, 18.00\nAER office\, 63 rue d’Arlon\, 1040 Brussels\nThe reception will be hosted with the support of our partner BNP Paribas Fortis in our Brussels office in the presence of His Royal Highness Prince Laurent of Belgium. We are honoured to count His Royal Highness amongst our closest allies in pursuing more and better policies to preserve our environment against the detrimental impacts of climate change. The annual event is the occasion to gather our privileged partners from the institutions\, partner organisations and networks we work with in Brussels and private partners. Please find enclosed the invitation to the receptions. \n\nBureau\, 2 December\, 09.00-13.00\nCoR\, Jacques Delors building\, rue Belliard 99-101\, 1040 Brussels\nThe Bureau will be the first to be organised in the new format decided upon last June by members aiming to make the AER Bureau the main political body of the organisation and the cradle for cross-European debate and discussion. No more organisational discussions but a free space for political debate. The topic on the agenda will be “Facing the refugee crisis” and we look forward to getting insight on how regions across Europe tackle the urgency of the migration challenge.
