Europe Calling “Eine neue Verfassung für Europa” – ” A new Constitution for Europe”
18/10/2023 @ 17:30 - 19:00 BST
Free
The European Union could soon be writing a new constitution: on Wednesday, 25.10.2023, the Constitutional Affairs Committee (AFCO) of the European Parliament will vote on whether the EU Parliament should start the process for amendments to the EU Treaties and whether a Constitutional Convention should be convened for this purpose.
The initiative to amend the treaties is supported by all five pro-democracy groups in the Parliament.
The ambitious changes suggested include: national vetoes to give way to majority decisions, the European Parliament to become a more powerful legislator with equal rights and the EU Commission to become a real government – subordinate to the Parliament. That is, fundamental changes to the EU – as was demanded by the citizens at the EU Future Conference.
The five MEPs who have been dealing with these questions will lead the discussion together with representatives from science, civil society and politics.
In German and English.
