Regulations for the promotion of culture in Bern
The Government Council of the Canton of Bern has approved the organizational regulations of the Association of Municipalities for the Promotion of Culture in the Biel/Bienne - Seeland - Bernese Jura Region.
The northern Bernese association of municipalities serves as a decision-making platform for the municipalities to conclude service contracts with cultural institutions of regional importance. According to the canton, the organizational regulations "take into account the special circumstances of this part of the canton and its bilingualism" and specifically provide for sub-regions.
As the regulations were not issued by the municipalities within the statutory period, the canton has taken over in accordance with the Cultural Promotion Act. The regulations will come into force on June 20, 2015 and the constituent meeting of the municipal association for the promotion of culture will take place on June 23, 2015.
