Report: Sustainable Regions and Municipalities 2007 - 8-10 May 2007, Växjö, Sweden

		The implementation of EU policies and directives in the field of energy and transport is often linked with great possibilities and opportunities. Nevertheless, it is also associated with difficulties arising from administrative, legal, technical and practical obstacles. This is a common problem for many local and regional European authorities. The purpose of this conference was to give local and regional representatives an opportunity to discuss this practical work with other European regions and cities to obtain new ideas and inspiration on how to work towards sustainable regions and municipalities. Several EU projects financed under the IEE and INTERREG III B and C programmes took part in the discussions and shared their experience and knowledge. Training for energy agencies and local and regional representatives was also included in the programme.
