The legal and social framework conditions imposed upon municipalities and special-purpose associations (Zweckverbände) in Germany are becoming ever more complex. While the legal requirements are in permanent flux, society’s expectations of local and regional councils are increasing all the time. What makes matters more difficult is the fact that legal influences at federal and EU level are becoming increasingly relevant and impact on the everyday work of municipalities. Within this challenging environment those involved in administrative procedures as well as in public relations and committee work are virtually every day faced with matters that require legal clarification.
