- changes in the way the Union is run: based on consultation and partnership requirements, these would ensure that regional and local authorities and/or the Committee of the Regio
ns were involved in elaborating policies and legislat
ive proposals which might have practical implications for these authorities and their powers. More specifically, these changes should include new patterns of behaviour on the part of the Commission, with increased opportunities for participation of the Regions, on the basis of Article 203 of the EC Treaty -
...[+++] in line with the constitutional arrangements in each of the Member States - in the Council of Ministers' decision-making, closer cooperation with the European Parliament and possible powers of access to the Court of Justice.
Ces modifications devraient impliquer plus particulièrement de nouveaux comportements de la part de la Commission, des possibilités accrues de participation des Régions, sur la base de l'article 203 du TCE – en harmonie avec les systèmes constitutionnels des différents États membres – aux délibérations du Conseil de ministres, des formes de collaboration plus intense avec le Parlement et, éventuellement, des droits d'accès à la Cour de justice.
