Appointing the delegation
All members are appointed on the recommendation of the Latvian government. Before appointment by the Government, the Minister of the Environmental Protection and Regional Development consults the Latvian Association of Local and Regional Governments on the candidates. National and local government associations and planning regions play a key role in determining the candidates for Latvian CoR nominations. Territorial and gender representation is taken into account.
