The European Committee of the Regions and the Estonian Presidency of the Council of the European Union CdR_3210/09-2017/EN The European Committee of the Regions and the Estonian Presidency of the Council of the European Union Created in 1994 following the signing of the Maastricht Treaty, the European Committee of the Regions is the EU’s assembly of 350 regional and local representatives from all 28 Member States, representing over 507 million Europeans. Its mission is to involve regional and local authorities and the communities they represent in the EU’s decision-making process and to inform them about EU policies. The European Commission, the European Parliament and the Council are obliged to consult the Committee in policy areas affecting regions and cities. It can appeal to the Court of Justice of the European Union if its rights are infringed or it believes that EU law infringes the subsidiarity principle or fails to respect regional or local powers.

Foreword BY KARL-HEINZ LAMBERTZ, PRESIDENT OF THE EUROPEAN COMMITTEE OF THE REGIONS Estonia takes over the helm of the EU Presidency during unprecedented times. The EU must concen- trate on what unites us which is why the Estonian EU Presidency's motto – "Unity through Balance" – is most welcome. The Estonian priorities – building an inclusive and sustainable Europe; an open and innovative European economy; a digital Europe; and a safe and secure Europe; - show that not only do we continue to share many challenges but the most pertinent issues of our time matter especially for Europe's local and regional governments. Creating sustainable jobs and growth is one our Committee's main priorities. We need local investment to tackle social and regional disparity and demonstrate that the EU can positively improve the lives of all citizens. It means using EU policies to attract private investment and, with the tough EU post-2020 budget talks soon to commence, we therefore need a stable EU cohesion policy. If Europe is to be more integrated, more cohesive and more united, cohesion policy needs to be strong, more visible and more effective. Digitalising Europe can help tackle regional differences, open up the single market and transform our economy. We need to overcome the digital divide which is hampering social progress by investing in areas such as e-governance and public procurement to improve services for all citizens. Estonia's EU Presidency also comes during the next round of international climate talks in Bonn, Germa- ny. After the regrettable decision of the US President to pull out of the Paris Agreement, the EU's energy and climate ambitions are more important now than ever before. We need to properly, formally and fully acknowledge the importance of cities and regions in realising our EU energy and climate change ambitions. The migration crisis continues to have direct demographic, economic and political consequences. Managing the flow and reception of people into Europe ultimately falls on the shoulders of local and regional governments which is why the EU's response must be based on solidarity, civil rights and pragmatism. The EU needs to step-up its efforts to support EU local and regional governments in in- tegrating migrants into their communities. We need to strengthen partnerships between regions and cities from both sides of the Mediterranean. Helping at the root of the issues is critical to find a workable solution to the migration crisis. A prosperous, sustainable and better European future lies in delivering tangible results that improve the lives of all citizens. As local and regional leaders, we need to communicate what the EU does, listen to our citizens and share their opinions about Europe in Brussels. It needs local and regional governments across Europe to work together to improve and deliver EU policies and bridge the gap between Brus- sels and our communities. Our Committee stands ready to support the Estonian government and its regions and cities to help build a better European future. The European Committee of the Regions and 3 the Estonian Presidency of the Council of the European Union Introduction BY JAAK AAB, ESTONIAN MINISTER FOR PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION The aim of the Estonian Presidency of the Council of the European Union is to contribute to the development of an open and innovative economy . One of the priorities of the Estonian Presidency is to help Europe make use of the huge opportunities offered by information tech- nology . For example, as a growing part of the European economy, the digital economy needs an effective, safely functioning infrastructure, based on which new services can be created which improve the productivity of the European economy and public sector, as well as im- proving the quality of life of people in all regions . Only the principles we believe in can be realised . In Estonia we have made a lot of progress, making public services straightforward and accessible for people, irrespective of where they live . A number of Estonian e-services enable citizens to communicate with the authorities on- line, when it suits them and without appearing in person . For instance, in Estonia it takes only three minutes to submit a pre-completed income tax declaration or vote for one’s representa- tives in various representative bodies online . With the support of the state several e-solutions have been developed for local authorities in Estonia which enable them to provide local ser- vices online – examples include the information and services portal of local municipalities, the procedural environment for local governments and the information system of local councils . I am confident that their increased use by the authorities will improve good governance, the transparency of governance and local democracy . As it is the local and regional authorities who provide a number of services to local residents, my ambition is for e-government and e-democracy to be further developed at this level (in our country as well as in other Member States), on the basis of local possibilities, wishes and preferences . The Estonian ID card and mobile ID are in everyday use in both the public and the private sec- tor . They enable the introduction of new services based on the e-government infrastructure which can also be used by citizens of other countries who join the Estonian e-citizen platform . We use a unique solution known as X-Road, which is an intermediate layer for different service providers, databases and information systems and makes many public services straightfor- ward and convenient for citizens . It is also an ideal platform for making business processes more efficient . During the presidency we wish to contribute to the development of e-services, showcase our experience and learn from the experiences of others . Creating well-functioning and widely used services requires a broad approach and a thorough consideration of the real need for these services and the principles on which they operate . The European Committee of the Regions and 5 the Estonian Presidency of the Council of the European Union What is the European Committee Plenary of the Regions (CoR)?

  • KOV Ühinemiste Finantsmõjude Analüüs 1996-2011
    EESTIS AASTATEL 1996-2009 ÜHINENUD KOHALIKE OMAVALITSUSTE FINANTSMÕJUDE ANALÜÜS 2012 Koostaja: Ave Viks, Kohaliku omavalitsuse ja regionaalhalduse osakond Sissejuhatus Kohalike omavalitsuste ühinemise eesmärgiks on eelkõige kohaliku omavalitsuse üksuste haldussuutlikkuse tõus, kohaliku omavalitsuse üksuste poolt tema territooriumil pakutavate avalike teenuste kättesaadavuse ja kvaliteedi paranemine ning kohaliku omavalitsuse üksuste koostöövõime arenemine1. Kohaliku omavalitsuse võimekuse kasv ja avalike teenuste kvaliteedi tõus on saavutatavad eelkõige suuremas omavalitsusüksuses võimaliku ametnike spetsialiseerumise ning efektiivsema töökorralduse arvelt. Lisaks territoriaalsele terviklikkusele ja avalike teenuste kvaliteedi paranemisele ei saa mööda vaadata ka ühinemise mõjust kohaliku omavalitsuse eelarvetele. Ühinemistel on hulgaliselt poliitilisi valikuid, millisele tasemele uue omavalitsuse teenuse tase seatakse ja neist sõltub ka eelarveline mõju. Samuti sõltuvad need valikud ja nende mõju ühinemise perioodist ning sellest, kas tegemist on majanduskasvu aastatega või vastupidi jpm. Ent siiski on võimalik välja tuua üldised trendid ühinenud omavalitsuste eelarvetes, mis ongi käeoleva analüüsi eesmärgiks. Ülevaade kohalike omavalitsuste ühinemistest Eestis Eestis on toimunud omavalitsuste vabatahtlikud ühinemised alates 1996. aastast, mil toimus esimene vabatahtlik kohaliku omavalitsuse üksuste ühinemine, kui senise Halinga valla ja Pärnu- Jaagupi valla baasil moodustati uus Halinga vald.

  • Introducing Setos on Stage: on the Early Performances of Seto Singing Culture
    https://doi.org/10.7592/FEJF2017.68.kalkun INTRODUCING SETOS ON STAGE: ON THE EARLY PERFORMANCES OF SETO SINGING CULTURE Andreas Kalkun Abstract: The article introduces the choirs who were active in Räpina Parish, south-eastern Estonia, in the late nineteenth century, and toured Estonian towns with their concerts in which they impersonated Setos. The performances of the “Setos” were entertaining or commercial, and humorous dialogues and plays in the Seto language1 or its imitation were as important as the music at these per- formances. The “Setos” and the “Seto language” were presented to the audiences as a curiosity next to other entertaining attractions. The performances of Seto culture by men from Räpina Parish followed the traditional models of represent- ing exotic cultures at the time. On the one hand, the peculiar construction of Seto culture by the “Setos” from Räpina represented a revival of the imagined past and, on the other hand, it was a demonstration of ethnic culture foreshadowing the modern folklore movement in the commercial space between folk tradition and elite culture. The early performances of the Seto singing culture represent the searches coinciding with the period of national awakening in Estonia and the curious detours from own national heritage to explore the close Others, the Seto people, though in a very peculiar manner. Keywords: commercial demonstration of Seto culture, impersonating Setos, Räpina Parish, Seto folklore, singing and drama societies In September 2008, the Republic of Estonia submitted an application for the Seto polyphonic singing culture to be included in the UNESCO Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

  • The New Territorial Pattern in Estonia
    The New Territorial Pattern in Estonia VEIKO SEPP Factors that affected the new administrative-territorial organisation of municipalities The new map of Estonian municipalities emerged from the cumu- lative effect of various factors. At the most general level, these can be grouped into national and local factors. As far the national factors are concerned, the Administrative Reform Act and the criteria for the minimum and recommended popula- tion size of a municipality stipulated in the Act definitely stand out as the most important, as these and the geographical distribution of the popu- lation shaped the general territorial layout of the new municipalities. 599 With some new municipalities, the decisive factor may also have been their compatibility with the exemption conditions stipulated by law. To begin with, the Act allowed for creating a municipality with a popu- lation size falling below the minimum criterion in sparsely populated regions with a total area of at least 900 square kilometres, provided that it had at least 3,500 residents (Article 9(3)1)). This exemption was used very little during the voluntary merger stage – only the merger of Alutaguse and Saarde rural municipalities during the voluntary stage corresponds to this exemption, although the government later initiated merger proceedings also for these rural municipalities. The effect of the so-called Setomaa exemption (Article 9(3)2) of the Administrative Reform Act) on the new administrative division is more complex, as the rural municipalities concerned did not use the option described in the Act to form the Setomaa rural municipality during the voluntary merger stage.

  • Rein Taagepera, University of California, Irvine. Apparently Non
    SIZE AND ETHNICITY OF ESTONIAN TOWNS AND RURAL DISTRICTS, 1922-1979 Rein Taagepera, University of California, Irvine. Unprecedented leaks of non-published 1979 census data enable us, for the first time since World War II, to analyze the ethnic composition changes in the Estonian towns and rural districts. The objective of this article is to present comprehensive data tables, based on the recent leaks, earlier published census data (1922, 1934, 1959, 1970), and interpolations. The Soviet administration in Estonia has been quite diligent in collecting and analyzing demographic data even on the local level, but has been remarkably reluctant about publishing them. After some relaxation in the 1960s, secretive- ness increased again in the 1970s. The only postwar date for which all town and rural district population figures are available from a single source seems to be 1965. z For urban areas only, complete lists have also been published for 1959 and 1969, 2 but I am not aware of any compact publication of 1970 census figures or any later estimates. Populations of individual urban centers are given in the individual articles on them in the Estonian Soviet Encyclopedia (ENE), with dates scattered from 1969 to 1976. For rural districts (which acquired the present boundary lines essentially by 1965) population listings are available for as late as 1975 and 1976. 3 For major cities more data are available. 4 Re- garding national or ethnic composition the detail in the official information is limited to separate tabulation for three categories-rural, urban, and TaUinn-for 1959 and 1970. 5 For the 1979 census, only the republic-wide composition had been published by the end of 1981, plus bits and pieces on TallinnP Unprecedented leaks through unofficial channels, however, have recently compensated for data withholding by the Soviet administration in Estonia.
