The Conference of European Regions with Legislative Power (RLEG) is a political network and joint initiative of leading regions in Europe with legislative power, their own system of government, parliament and head of government. It primarily consists of representatives of regional governments from European Union (EU) member states. The countries of Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales are members of the conference, and although located in Europe, they are no longer part of the European Union. It is not a formal EU institution, and only 73 regions of 8 member states participate.
