This seminar, organized by the offices of the European Commission Representation in Paris and Marseille in partnership with Régions de France, was intended for the Europe and Communication departments of the Regions. Saint-Martin, who, as a reminder, takes over the presidency of the Conference of Presidents of the ORs in November, participated in these two days of work at the European Commission, with around forty participants from all over France.
Through time for discussions with those responsible for European Union policies and programs, the objectives of this seminar were twofold: how to better jointly enhance Europe in the regions and the driving role of the regions in European construction, but also how to strengthen the feeling of belonging to the Union and European citizenship in the perspective of the elections of May 26, 2019.
Ambitious objectives for a major subject that fits in a context of both balance sheet and future for the European Union, but also against the background of Brexit and the rise of euro septic populisms in the member states.
As part of the ongoing debate on the future of the European Union of 27, launched by the publication of the Commission White Paper on 1 March 2017 and in parallel with the citizens' dialogues organized by the European Commission and by the Member States, a 12-question online questionnaire further expands the existing possibilities of expression to citizens of the European Union. 30 questionnaires have been validated to date and the consultation will continue until the 000 European elections, on the website of the Commission and its French Representation. Our fellow citizens can thus make their voices heard on https://www.touteleurope.eu and https://ec.europa.eu/commissi…/consultation-future-europe_fr.
