Final Conference on the Future of Europe to be held from 29-30 April in Strasbourg

The final plenary of the Conference on the Future of Europe will be held from 29-30 April in Strasbourg to finalise its proposals.

A European Parliament press release said following two sessions (in late March and early April) during which it discussed draft documents tabled by the nine Working Groups, the Conference Plenary is set to approve its final set of proposals. These will be adopted on a consensual basis. The Plenary meeting on Saturday will revolve around feedback from citizens’ representatives and their positions on the proposals.

The proposals cover the themes of health, European democracy, migration, values and rights, rule of law, security, education, culture, youth, stronger economy, social justice and jobs, climate change and the environment, EU in the World, digital transformation.

The Plenary’s draft proposals have been based on the recommendations made by the European Citizens’ Panels, input from national panels, and ideas gathered through the Multilingual Digital Platform, as well as the exchanges held during previous Conference Plenary sessions and Working Group meetings.

The Executive Board will deliver the final report of the Conference to the Presidents of the EU institutions on 9 May in Strasbourg.
