LEGESE - Easing Participation in Legislative Processes

The implementation of European legislation at regional and local level has a major impact on citizens’ lives, but few are aware or participate in the local implementation of such legislation. LEGESE will address this by providing a service that is useful to the Public Authorities and engaging to citizens.

LEGESE (www.legese.org) is an 18 month eParticipation Action project that will pilot trial a new service to encourage easy communication and information exchange for effective public participation in the legislation implementation phase of European initiated legislation at the local and regional levels that are most directly relevant to most citizens’ lives.

LEGESE will provide easy access to and understanding of the huge body of EU legislation that is the source and driver of much legislation that is implemented at National and Regional level throughout Europe.

The LEGESE service will run on the established eParticipate Public-i platform that centres on multimedia webcasting supported by contextual information and feedback facilities, providing easily accessible legislative documents using the innovative 602 XML forms system, learning citizen-participation best-practice from the experience of the award-winning Bristol Council
e-Petitioner system and building directly on the very successful eTEN eParticipate project and experience. The LEGESE service will be easy to use, technically open and standardised to interface with existing and future eGovernment systems. The service will be trialed for
9 months in 3 regions with very diverse local legislative implementation contexts in the Czech Republic, France and the UK.

As a web-based service, LEGESE will complement and enhance at a regional level the European Parliament’s own EPLive webcasting service and EPTV web television channel, and provide future potential functional and citizen-centered e-participation enhancements to those services.
