!!!Gemeindebund, Österreichischer

Association of Austrian Municipalities (Oesterreichischer 
Gemeindebund), founded in 1947, voluntary association of the Austrian 
municipalities on the basis of the right of association; 
representative of the interests of the municipalities embodied in 
constitutional law by the amendment to the Bundesverfassungsgesetz 
1988 (Federal Constitutional law) (the same holds true for the body 
representing the interests of the towns, Austrian Association of 
Cities and Towns). In this function the Association of Municipalities 
is involved in the evaluation of bills and decrees drafted by the 
Federal government, the provinces and the municipalities and 
participates in the negotiations on revenue sharing. The Association 
of Municipalities closely co-operates with the  Austrian Association 
of Cities and Towns and the co-ordination centre for the provinces 
(Verbindungsstelle der Bundeslaender) established at the seat of the 
Lower Austrian government. The Association of Municipalities also 
forms part of the Austrian Conference on Regional Planning ( OeROK).
