The Spinelli Draft Treaty (14 February 1984 – 14 February 2022)
Monday, 14 February 2022 17h30-19h00
Dear federalist friends,
In 1984, the European Parliament adopted the draft of a European Constitution, which could still solve problems the EU faces today: nearly completely abolishing national vetoes, deciding the EU budget by Parliament and Council together, the EU court checking member states on questions of human rights and the rule of law, health and other societal policies to be a shared competence between EU and member states.
This courageous move 38 years ago is a wake-up call to pro-Europeans while the Conference on the Future of Europe is entering into its decision-making phase.
We invite you to hear some of the witnesses explain key features of the 1984 draft treaty. Current MEPs will comment how this can inspire today’s decisions. Join our hybrid event on 14 February 2022 17h30-19h00 either online or in 76 Allée de la Robertsau, 67000 Strasbourg, France.
Speakers at the event will include:
Pier Virgilio Dastoli, President of European Movement Italy, former secretary to Altiero Spinelli, lead author of this draft treaty
Heidi Marie Wieczorek Zeul, Social-Democrat MEP 1979-87, later German Federal minister for economic development
Jean Paul Jacqué, Spinelli draft treaty jurist
Monica Frassoni, former secretary general JEF
Enrique Barón Crespo, former President of European Parliament and European Movement International
Jean Victor Louis, Professor Emeritus at the University of Brussels (ULB)
Danuta Hübner, MEP (EPP/Poland) and Member of the COFE
Katalin Cseh, MEP (Renew/Hungary) and Member of the COFE
UEF, together with the Spinelli Group, JEF and the Movimento Europeo Italia, suggest that pro-Europeans in Parliaments and the Conference on the Future of Europe open a debate about the method adopted by our EP in 1979-1984 and the gap between the main results of this parliamentarian common work and the situation of the European Union as it is now. The Spinelli Draft Treaty and its method and its content should inspire our work in the framework of the debate on the future of Europe. Find here the full statement.
Looking forward to the discussion!
With federalist regards,
Daniel FREUND, Pier VIRGILIO DASTOLI, Sandro GOZI, Domènec RUIZ DEVESA and Antonio ARGENZIANO
Reforming the European Electoral Law: Options for Establishing Transnational Lists
Online Workshop on Wednesday, 26 January 2022, 6.00 p.m.
Dear federalist friends,
We would like to remind you to join our next online event « Reforming the European Electoral Law: Options for Establishing Transnational Lists ».
In the evening following the Constitutional Affairs Committee’s decision on its report on transnational lists, we invite you to an online workshop on the reform of the European electoral law. The event is organised by the “Political Commission 1” of the Union of European Federalists in cooperation with the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung EU-Office Brussels and the University of Passau. It will discuss the current state of negotiations in the European Parliament: How does its proposal for transnational lists look like? Does it have a chance of finding a majority within the Parliament and later on in the Council?
The workshop will also consider the impact of the current proposals. Expectations include that transnational lists will lead to truly European electoral campaigns, strengthen European political parties and a European public sphere. Does the current proposal have the potential to strengthen European democracy this way? Which changes would be useful to fully exploit the potential of transnational lists for European democracy?
These and further questions from participants will be discussed with distinguished speakers.

Europe: Remember to Revive” journey across the
Baltics and Central and Eastern Europe. Two main ideas were behind this: on one
hand, to raise awareness about the central role of European values in the revolutions
of 1989-1991; on the other hand, to encourage a reflection on the future of
Europe, European democracy and the Rule of Law. After our online stops in
Germany, Hungary, Lithuania, Estonia, and our physical ones in Gdańsk (PL) and
Prague (CZ), UEF’s #DemocracyIsEurope
project is coming to an end with our final conference in Brussels on 2-3
December 2021.
Brussels is the chosen scenario in which the project “democracy activators”,
participants, stakeholders and researchers will present and discuss the outcomes
of the project, commemorate membership in the EU of the aforementioned Member
states, and advocate for further European integration based on the
strengthening and protection of democracy and the Rule of Law.

IMAGINING THE FUTURE OF EUROPE: PARTICIPATORY DEMOCRACY IN THE EUROPEAN UNION
In which Europe would you
like to live in 10 or 20 years’ time?
The Conference on the Future of Europe will begin on May 9,
Europe Day, to define the direction that the European Union should take.
Citizens
and civil society will be able to give their opinion on the Europe they want
and thus contribute to shaping its future in the medium and long term through a
participatory forum.
UEF and Xul Foundation invite
you to participate in this process with Crossroads Europe, a European funded
project, to collect proposals and opinions on the Europe we want in the field
of participatory democracy and representation. These contributions will be
collected in a document of policy recommendations to be submitted to the
Conference on the Future of Europe.
If you want to get involved and contribute, if you wonder how to develop participatory processes in times of pandemic, if you want to broaden your knowledge on citizen participation, if you want to contribute to the construction of Europe and to give your opinion on the challenges it faces and its future, we are counting on you. Do you want to rethink Europe with us? We have planned a series of virtual workshops that will take place ONLINE on April 20 and 21, 2021.
2021 marks the 30th anniversary of the return to freedom and
democracy to Central and Eastern Europe and of Estonia’s restoration of
independence.
The project « Democracy
is Europe » aims to raise awareness on the centrality of the European
ideals in the transitions and peaceful revolutions of 1989-1991 in Central and
Eastern Europe and the Baltic States and to encourage debate and reflection on
the impact of such ideas in today’s Europe.
The Estonian session of
“Democracy is Europe” is organized in cooperation with and locally managed by
the Johan Skytte Institute of Political Studies of the University of Tartu.
The Estonian grass-root event
consists of two days of activities. On April 23, two panel sessions will be
held to discuss the historical context of Estonia’s Singing Revolution and its
significance for nations struggling for democracy and freedom nowadays. The
panels will be open to everyone interested. On April 24, the registered
participants, grouped in virtual teams, will work on different creative
projects that capture the significance of Estonia’s experience for today’s
Europe and its fundamental contribution to the process of integration. The day
will be concluded by a keynote speech of Visiting Prof. Toomas Hendrik Ilves,
former president of Estonia (2006-2016).
The full programme of the
event is available at the following link and the Facebook event can be
found here.
Registration is REQUIRED to participate in the event and is available at
the following link (open until April 22).
Y-FED
The project “Y-FED: Europe is what we make of it” aims to bring the EU closer
to its young citizens by developing a proposal for an improved institutional
framework of the Union in line with the European Youth Goals. The initiative,
supported by an Erasmus+ “European Youth Together” grant, will be implemented
between January 2020 and July 2021 through a series of capacity-building
training courses, public policy hackathons, a large-scale simulation of a
reformed EU and advocacy actions. The project partners comprise 18 civil
society organisations as well as 2 networks of European and regional
decision-makers.
About the Large-scale
Model Simulation, 14 – 19 June, 2021
The large-scale simulation is the main event of the nearly 2
years long project “Y-FED: Europe is what we make of it” that will gather more
than 100 young people from all over Europe in an online and physical
environment for 5 days.
As the cherry on the top, the model simulation is none like any
other simulations out there (MUNs, MEUs). It follows its own methodology
recreating a European Union of the future that is more youth-led, more
inclusive, more efficient and closer to its citizens. The model is inspired by
the first edition of Y-FED in 2019 and the hackathon solutions based on the
European Youth goals.
The event is going to be a blended activity with an online and offline
(in Strasbourg, France) settings and the current call is for the participants who will join
the event physically in Strasbourg under the roles of members of “The House of
Citizens” and “The European Senate”. For the rest of the roles
who will through online participation, there will be a call launched in May. The
goal will be to create a synergy between the participants in Strasbourg under
the 2 roles of members of “The House of Citizens” and “The European Senate” and
the journalists, lobbyists and citizens who will join online.
We hope you are all well and enjoying the springtime wherever you are in Europe!
We would like to update you on our next project events! In the context of our Crossoroads EU project we are glad and proud to invite you to attend four interesting sessions, in Spanish, co-organised by our partner Fundacion Xul.
The events will address the topic of Participatory Democracy in the European Union with dialogues at a national and an international level. The participants, in the second phase of the events, will also have the chance to develop the necessary skills to use Digital Platforms for democratic engagement – Decidim.
We kindly invite you to participate and to spread the voice among your network and friends.
