Dernæst resulterede Konventionen i en reducering af antallet af beslutninger - fra 27 til kun 6 slags - i en tydelig og hensigtsmæssig fordeling af opgaverne mellem Europa og medlemsstaterne og i en større rolle for de lokale og regionale myndigheder.
The Convention subsequently resulted in a reduction in the number of types of decisions from twenty-seven to only six. It also led to a clear and adequate distribution of tasks between Europe and the Member States, and a greater role for local and regional authorities.
