MEPs to discuss a joint statement with national parliamentarians expected to be endorsed in the coming weeks, and assess the status of the Conference.
Parliament’s 108-strong delegation to the Conference on the Future of Europe will meet to discuss:
- the state of play in the Plenary Working Groups;
- a proposed joint statement between the delegations to the Conference
Plenary of the European Parliament and national parliaments; and
- the follow-up of the Conference.
A joint statement of the two
parliamentary delegations to the Plenary of the Conference on the Future
of Europe is being prepared by MEPs and member state MPs, the latter
under the leadership of representatives from the French National
Assembly and Senate. It is expected to comprise a set of common
positions on key areas of the Conference’s work.
The exchange will also revolve around
the follow up of the outcomes of the Conference, which is approaching
its conclusion. Parliament’s delegation is aiming for an ambitious
outcome, by turning the recommendations of citizens into strong
proposals that will take into account the latest threats to European
democracy, peace, and security. Several MEPs have put forward the idea
of a Convention to revise the EU Treaties as a successor to the
Conference.
The meeting agenda is available here. You can follow the exchange live on Parliament’s Multimedia Centre.
