Critical: DC4EU strengthens existing governance, doesn't bypass it.
DG-EAC maintains responsibility for primary, secondary, and tertiary education credential schemas. DG-EMPL oversees VET and adult education. National authorities retain competency within their jurisdictions.
The multi-level governance approach ensures European-level coordination for interoperability whilst respecting subsidiarity principles established in founding treaties.
"California doesn’t wait for Washington anymore. Neither does New York. Or Illinois. They’re building functioning governmental systems that operate independently of federal authority."
It's good to see states using their own powers, rather than relying on Washington, DC. Shame it's a result of the foolish and often thuggish policies of the second Trump Administration.

At least this will correct some of the incoherence of the present multiple arrangements but the move to shire unitaries is big mistake IMO.

Information on the #Devolution White Paper, with a Greater Manchester slant. A 'proud moment' for Greater Manchester - but what difference does it make? - Manchester Evening News https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/proud-moment-greater-manchester-what-30599829
In drug development, Pharma bankrolls the trial scientists, medical journal, regulator, doctors - & every minor stage in between.
This ‘end-to-end narrative containment’ is the business-politics-media model that also underpins ocean pollution, market crashes & permanent #war.
We don't get out of any of those things without reforming #governance.

There is much wisdom in the Principle of Subsidiarity. See, e.g., Thomas C. Behr, #SocialJustice and #Subsidiarity. This is a key principle of the social doctrine of the Catholic Church. #ConcordianEconomics offers the opportunity of an automatic application of this principle

@wood5y And then all functions have to be stripped out of Westminster except wealth redistribution, defence and foreign affairs. In a properly designed state, there's really very little which should be done by central government.
"It takes a village to build a community" says -- of all people -- the European Commission @EUCommission social media feed.
Well, it does. Which is why we need to be empowering localities, driving actual democratic agency right down to the village level.
Who builds the housing? Who cares for the poor and the infirm? Who runs the school? Who maintains the roads? It should not be some distant bureaucracy. It should be the village.
