Points out that, although NSBs constitute a core element in the European standardisation system, there are significant differences among them in terms of resources, technical expertise and stakeholder engagement in the standardisation process; stresses that the existing inequalities create a significant imbalance in their effective participation in the European standardisation system, while limited resources in some NSBs may hamper their effective involvement in the standard-setting process;

awaits with interest the implementation of a transparent, fair, credible system of local public finances, in which there would no longer be rigid practices and clientelism supporting an unbalanced system of discretionary distribution of budget resources to local communities; it would no longer be possible to influence the structure of revenues accumulated by other administrative levels; greater independence would be given to the local budget process, guaranteeing adequate revenues and enabling the collection of own taxes, which would allow resources to be managed independently and, indirectly, would make it possible to design local economic development policies; powers would be delegated by the State to local communities, accompanied by ...[+++]the necessary financial resources; procedures for financial equalisation would become true instruments to support disadvantaged communities; resources would be allocated transparently, enabling predictable financial management by all local communities; local financial autonomy would be protected from the interference of public authorities at other levels;

The Resources Strategy will therefore work towards increasing the integration of resource-related environmental issues into other policies that influence the environmental impacts of the use of natural resources, in particular under the Cardiff Process.
