Moore C. (2006) Conflicts in representing the regions in Brussels: the case of Wales, Regional Studies 40, 793-799. Regional representative offices in Brussels are today commonplace, and their number continues to grow. However, these offices vary in the scope and remit of their activities, with their function dictated by their end users, the home or sending authorities. In Wales, the shifting nature of regional governance has demanded a restructuring of the capacities for the representation of Welsh interests at the European Union level. A long and often contentious process of trial and error ultimately saw Welsh forms of interest mediation in the European Union post-devolution converge on a model established by Scottish actors in Brussels. This points to an emerging pattern of European Union-level engagement subsequent to the introduction of regional government. Moore C. (2006) Des conflits quant a la representation des regions a Bruxelles: etude de cas du Pays de Galles, Regional Studies 40, 793-799. De nos jours, la presence a Bruxelles des bureaux charges de representer les regions se banalise et leur nombre ne cesse d'augmenter. Neanmoins, la portee et les attributions de leurs competences varient etant donne que leur role se voit determiner par les utilisateurs finaux, l'administration d'origine ou d'accueil. Au Pays de Galles, l'evolution de l'administration regionale a necessite une restructuration des moyens de representer les interets gallois au niveau de l'Ue. A terme, un processus par tatonnement, a la fois long et souvent controverse, a fini dans une Ue d'apres-regionalisation par la convergence des systemes de mediation gallois sur un modele etabli a Bruxelles par des acteurs ecossais. Cela indique une tendance naissante a l'engagement au niveau de l'Ue a la suite de l'etablissement de l'administration regionale. Union europeenne Pays de Galles Regions Regionalisation Representation Moore C. (2006) Konflikte bei der Vertretung von Regionen in Brussel: der Fall Wales, Regional Studies 40, 793-799. Heutzutage sind Regionalvertretungen in Brussel etwas Alltagliches, und ihre Zahl nimmt weiter zu. Umfang und Aufgabenbereich dieser Buros sind jedoch verschieden, wobei ihre Funktion vom Endverbraucher, der Heimat- oder Entsendungsbehorde, bestimmt wird. In Wales hat die sich wandelnde Natur der Regionalverwaltung eine Umstrukturierung der Kapazitaten fur die Vertretung der walischen Interessen auf der Ebene der EU verlangt. Ein ausgedehnter und oft umstrittener Prozess des Ausprobierens liess schliesslich walisische Formen der Interessenvermittlung in der EU nach der Machtubertragung in ein Modell einmunden, das in Brussel nach schottischem Vorbild aufgestellt worden war. Dies zeigt an, dass ein Muster zur Mitarbeit auf EU-Ebene nach Einfuhrung einer Regionalverwaltung entsteht. Europaische Union Wales Regionen Machtubertragung Reprasentation Moore C. (2006) Conflictos para representar las regiones en Bruselas: el caso de Gales, Regional Studies 40, 793-799. Las oficinas de representantes regionales en Bruselas son corrientes hoy dia y su numero sigue creciendo. Sin embargo, existen variaciones en el alcance y las competencias de las actividades de estas oficinas de modo que sus funciones son dictadas por los usuarios, es decir, las autoridades nacionales o de envio. En Gales, la naturaleza cambiante de la gobernanza regional ha exigido una reestruccturacion de las capacidades para la representacion de los intereses de Gales en la Union Europea. En un proceso largo y, a menudo, contencioso de ensayo y error, se observaron ultimamente formas galesas de mediacion de intereses en la convergencia despues de la transferencia de competencias en la Union Europea segun un modelo establecido por protagonistas escoceses en Bruselas. Esto senala un modelo emergente de participacion en la UE despues de la introduccion del gobierno regional. Union Europea Gales Regiones Transferencia de competencias Representacion
