Press Releases
Here’s a brief summary of our most recent statements on current European affairs.
What Europe looks like after Cameron’s speech: the road towards the 2014 EP elections
Our take on David Cameron’s January 23rd speech on the relation between Britain and the EU: it is clear that the British Prime Minister hopes for a yes to a referendum that, in his eyes, should have two effects. On the one hand, it should confirm the need for the “repatriation” of certain powers to the UK; on the other, it should allow him to keep the leadership of the Tories ahead of the next Parliamentary elections.
Chancellor Merkel’s Davos’ speech
We are disappointed with Chancellor Merkel’s speech at Davos on January 24th, where she proposed the adoption of a competitiveness pact via contracts between each member state and the European Commission.
Tougher credit rating rules approved by the European Parliament
We support the new rules on credit ratings agencies approved by the European Parliament on January 23rd and call for the establishment of a European Credit Rating Agency.
Campaign Support
We have recently endorsed two deserving European Citizen Initiatives: Fraternité 2020, which advocates enhanced Erasmus, European Volunteer Service and other exchange programs; and Right2Water, the largest ECI against privatization of water resources and fighting for the recognition of access to water and sanitation as a public good and universal right.
We are also looking forward to the publication of the European Federalist Papers – an initiative of Leo Klinkers and Herbert Tombeur.
