Created in 1985, the Assembly of European Regions (AER) is a political organisation of the regions of Europe and the speaker for their interests at European and international level. Its mission is "to bring together the regions of Europe and to allow them to act in the construction of Europe and European integration". The AER currently has 250 member Regions from 26 countries and 12 member interregional organisations. This well organised site has information about the AER's responsibilities and areas of interest (e.g. agriculture, regional policy, sustainable development, transport), together with coverage of its activities, programmes, events and publications.

Committee of the Regions (COR)

--NEW URL-- http://www.cor.europa.eu/



The Committee of the Regions (COR) is one of the youngest European institutions. It was created in 1994, as a 'consultative body' responsible for bringing a local and regional viewpoint on European Union legislation and policy. Responsibilities were initially limited to five areas: economic and social cohesion, trans-European infrastructure networks, health, education and culture; under the Treaty of Amsterdam (1999), employment policy, social policy, the environment, vocational training and transport were added as new areas for compulsory consultation. The site has a good deal of information about the COR's membership, activities, opinions and resolutions, plus a helpful section of other EU links. [GAS, 28 May 2006].

This site pulls together the UN's work in relation to economic and social development, much of it under the auspices of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs. DESA seeks to promote broad-based and sustainable development through a multidimensional and integrated approach to economic, social, environmental, population and gender related aspects of development, and the site includes information about the various DESA divisions, discussion papers and publications to download, news and events, and links to relevant data and other information elsewhere on the United Nations website.
