Value proposition

Representing 1 M democratically elected European politicians, in 60 member associations from 40 countries since 1951.

The Council of European Municipalities and Regions (CEMR) brings together 130.000 municipalities, cities and regions federated through 60 national associations from 41 European countries. It therefore constitutes the most representative association of local and regional governments in Europe.

Its work is organised around two main pillars:

- Influencing European policy and legislation in all areas having an impact on local and regional governments;

- Providing a forum for debate and cooperation for elected representatives and experts from our 60 member associations.

CEMR’s members are national associations of local and regional governments, whose own members are municipalities, cities and regions in their country.

CEMR is also the European section of United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG), through which it represents European local and regional governments at international level.
