Government promotes increased cooperation with Regional Strategic Concertation Council
The Regional Government proposed today the creation of two working groups to monitor the implementation of the Azorean Agenda for Employment Creation and Business Competitiveness and the sustainability of the Regional Health Service.
The proposal was revealed by Vice-President of the Regional Government, Sérgio Ávila, at the end of the meeting with the Regional Concertation Council.
During the meeting, the Government presented the draft proposals on the Medium-Term Guidelines for 2013/2016 and the Annual Plan for 2013.
According to Sérgio Ávila, the working group responsible for monitoring the implementation of the Azorean Agenda for Employment Creation and Business Competitiveness will be created, , under the Standing Commission of the Strategic Council. In turn, the aforementioned Commission will be in charge of monitoring government measures designed to assure the sustainability of the Regional Health Service.
Sérgio Ávila stressed that the Government's proposal has been accepted by the advisors, who have also taken the commitment to present in the context of the Standing Commission the "proposals to consolidate these two documents - one at the level of implementation and the other at the level of planning."
For the Azorean Government, both documents are “essential to the development of the Region."
