The Conference on the Future of Europe Plenary session on 8-9 April debated concrete proposals.

Chairs and spokespersons of nine Working Groups tabled consolidated draft proposals, grouped by theme, to the Conference plenary. The proposals were mainly based on the recommendations of European Citizens’ Panels, national panels, and ideas from the Multilingual Digital Platform. These proposals were discussed by all Plenary Members.

Next steps

The final Conference Plenary session is scheduled for 29-30 April in Strasbourg, where proposals are expected to be approved by the Plenary on a consensual basis, with a final say of the citizens component. These proposals will be then put forward to the Conference’s Executive Board, with the final report delivered to the Presidents of the EU institutions on 9 May in Strasbourg for the closing ceremony of the Conference.
