Launch of the Böll Publication
SOLIDARITY AND STRENGTH - THE FUTURE OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
Venue
Vertretung des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen bei der Europäischen Union
Rue Montoyer 47
1000 Brussels
The publication Solidarity and Strength is the result of the work of the Commission on the Future of the European Union, convened by the Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung in 2010. This commission, composed of 60 renowned experts from the worlds of politics, science and civil society, was charged with sketching out future prospects and drafting recommendations for key areas of European policy ? areas crucial for giving a new dynamic to European cooperation. The starting point of the commission’s work was the concept ‘solidarity and strength’ as European solidarity is a prerequisite for the inner cohesion of the EU and strength is required to preserve the ‘European way of life’ in a globalised world. In times of crisis and faced with growing scepticism towards the European institutions, there is a need for an open debate on the Union’s perspectives. On occasion of Schuman Day the Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung European Union invites you to join this debate which will be introduced by the following members of the Commission on the Future of the European Union:
Christine Pütz, Head of EU Desk, Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung Berlin
Rainder Steenblock, former Minister of Schleswig-Holstein and former Member of the German Parliament (Bundestag)
Daniela Schwarzer, Head European integration research division, Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik (German Institute for International and Security Affairs), Berlin
Sven Giegold, Member of the European Parliament (Greens/EFA)
Moderator
Claude Weinber, Director Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung European Union
Welcome
Rainer Steffens, Head Representation NRW
No admittance without confirmed registration. E-Mail registration only. Ebertowski@boell.eu
