German National Consultation

At the German National Consultation in Berlin on March 28-29 about 150 citizens discussed the results of the initial online debate on the question “What can the EU do to shape our economic and social future in a globalised world?” As a result of the consultation, which took place in the Federal Foreign Office, the ten most approved recommendations were published and presented to national and European policy makers. National citizens’ consultations took place simultaneously in 9 countries. A synthesis of the 270 recommendations from the 27 European Citizens’ Consultations is now available online at the national websites. You can comment on these proposals before they are voted on by the 1,500 citizens who took part in the national conferences. At the European Citizen's Summit in Brussels (May 11) 15 recommendations are finalised and presented to European political leaders. Ten percent of the citizens who attended the 27 national conferences take part in this event.
