Help Rama so that he does not actually govern as an anti-European!!! Rama's illegal and populist interventions in the municipalities of Tirana and Vlora are a flagrant violation of the independence of local government.
Perhaps the negotiating staffs with the EU have not yet sent Rama a memo on what the principle of "subsidiarity" essentially is.
To help him move away from anti-European attitudes that undermine the independence of local government, as a researcher of European integration, I would like to remind his responsible staff to advise him not to make a mistake, that the essence of the principle of subsidiarity is that decisions on local government are made by municipalities.
1. The principle of subsidiarity is one of the fundamental principles in the functioning of the European Union (EU). It is set out in the Treaty on European Union and aims to ensure that decision-making is carried out as closely as possible to the citizens, by ensuring that powers that are not necessary to be exercised by higher-level institutions (such as the EU) are delegated to lower-level institutions (such as the Member States).
Essentially, the principle of subsidiarity states that:
1. Lowest appropriate level of action: The European Union authorities may act only in cases where the proposed objectives cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States but can be better achieved at EU level.
2. Efficiency and proximity: This principle ensures that decisions are taken at the level closest to citizens, contributing to transparency and accountability. This means that, where possible, issues should be resolved at local, regional or national levels, before EU institutions are involved.
3. The importance of interaction: The principle of subsidiarity fosters a healthy relationship between the EU and the member states, where each level of government has its clear responsibilities and works in cooperation to achieve common goals.
This principle is particularly important in such a multicultural and multi-owner union as the EU, and helps preserve the diversity and autonomy of member states.
The principle of subsidiarity plays an important role in protecting national and local governments from interference by European Union (EU) institutions in their competences.
This principle ensures that EU actions are reasonable and justified, thus guaranteeing that powers that do not require a higher level of action remain in the hands of the bodies closest to the citizens.
Protection of National and Local Government:
1. Reserved competences: Member States have reserved competences that cannot be affected by the EU, including those in areas of policy and law that have a direct impact on the daily lives of citizens (such as education, health, and local legislation).
2. Necessity test: Before EU-drafted laws enter into force, an analysis must be carried out to see whether action at EU level is necessary and effective. If a measure cannot be better achieved at national or local level, then it can be implied by the EU.
3. Transparency and communication: Member States have the opportunity to protest or express concerns if they feel that an EU action causes unnecessary interference in their competences.
Main Principles and Criteria of Subsidiarity:
1. Proportionality: EU actions must be proportionate to the aim they seek to achieve. This means that interventions must not be greater than is necessary to achieve the objectives set.
2. Proximity: Decision-making must take place at the lowest possible level, putting trust and power back in the hands of local and national authorities.
3. Consultation: The EU decision-making process often involves consultations with affected parties, including local and national governments, to ensure that their concerns and needs are taken into account.
4. Impact assessment: The EU must carry out assessments of the sustainability and impact of policies before adopting measures that could impinge on the competences of member states.
The principle of subsidiarity helps to balance power between EU institutions and member states, ensuring that local and national authorities remain strong and able to act in the interests of their citizens.
