Danish term or phrase: kommunesammenlægningen

Took place on Bornholm. I know this is to do with the municipal reform, but did anyone come up with a term for this? Searched far and wide.

kommunesammenlægningen Municipal amalgamation

Explanation:
You could also say "amalgamation of the local authorities" or "local government almalgamation".

There are several options that spring to mind. You could perhaps say "merging" or "integration".

Hope my ideas have helped anyway!
