The #cantons would like to be more closely involved in the crisis management at national level. The Conference of Cantonal Governments (#CdC) has published a statement on the #crisismanagement structures of the federal administration. 👉 The cantonal governments welcome the fact that the federal administration aims to respond more efficiently and effectively to crisis situations. However, they regret that the draft does not take a broader approach and that the cantons are not #systematically involved if they are also affected by a crisis. https://lnkd.in/erhe-Ema

This seems like an odd decision. The applicants were alleging that the planning authorities had deliberately or knowingly deceived the public by presenting an angled flightpath which they knew was wrong and favoured the airport case. That would be deceit by the public authority if true. It's odd that a dodgy input like that (if true) can be excused, as the Court does here (rejecting the admissibility of the applicant's claim) because it was satisfied that the applicant's interests were nonetheless considered and weighed as part of the procedure. They were swayed, it seems by the fact that the applicants did not allege any breach of their substantive position under art 8 - their claim was merely around the procedural rights aspect of that article. But a misfeasance-type knowing deception (again, if true) surely ought itself to trigger human rights condemnation? Whither the rule of law othewise?

📚 The #AIDA Country Report on #Austria is OUT   ➡️In 2023, 58,686 international protection applications were lodged in Austria. This represented an almost 50% decrease from 2022 (Austria’s record year).   ➡️At the same time, almost 30,000 cases were discontinued due to the onward travel of applicants to other countries. Of the 70,000 decisions taken at first instance in 2023, 43% were formal decisions in cases of people having moved onward after having lodged their applications.   ➡️As of January 2024, approximately 70,000 Ukrainians who had entered Austria since the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 were registered in Austria’s Central Register of Residence.   ➡️The debated system of legal counselling and representation, which had been introduced in 2021, was deemed unconstitutional by the Constitutional Court in December 2023.   ➡️The drop in asylum applications also partly relieved the pressure on Austria’s reception system. Several locations were either permanently or temporarily closed in the final quarter of 2023. However, the lack of co-operation between the federal basic care system, which is responsible for asylum applicants during the admissibility phase, and the provinces, which are responsible during the rest of the procedure, persisted and, as a result, some asylum applicants stayed in federal facilities for longer than necessary.    ➡️Finally, there was a sharp increase in applications for asylum via the family reunification process in 2023, as the authorities worked on a backlog of Syrian protection cases.   Read the full report here: 🔗https://bit.ly/3VSz2NX

I was very pleased to contribute to the panel debate on cohesion policy at the "External #RegHub Workshop" in the town hall in Cologne. After the speech by state secretary Mark Speich I was able to introduce the #regionennrw network and then explain the #Aachen region's perspective on the cohesion funds. And in my opinion it is right for those responsible in #Brussels and the #EUCommission to include the implementers of EU-financed projects in the planning for the new #cohesion period. And #european #financial #support must be noticeable for citizens in the #future... Many thanks for the invitation. #europe #cohesionpolicy #regionen #nrw Region Aachen Zweckverband Dr. Philipp Schwartz Thomas Wobben 👉 Background & context: The #European #Committee of the Region's "Regional Hubs Network (RegHub)" plays an active role in the better #regulation agenda of the #EU through its targeted #stakeholder. The Hubs monitor the implementation of #EU policies on the ground and make sure, that the #evaluation and #fitness checks of policies take into account the #experience of relevant regional and local stakeholders. 📷Land NRW / Robin Teller
