The Agora Programme

EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT - BRUSSELS
8 and 9 NOVEMBER 2007
NEW TREATIES CHALLENGES, OPPORTUNITIES, TOOLS

Next December, the Heads of State and Government are to sign a new European treaty which will then be submitted for ratification in each Member State of the Union.
The European Parliament has decided, before issuing its own assessment of the text, to invite European civil society to come to the Chamber and express its views on the new institutional landscape, asking it to present its appraisal and its xpectations, but also to better define its role within the new framework that is taking shape.
The activities of this Agora will centre around two plenary sessions and two meetings of five workshops (‘Tasks’ - ‘Rights’ - ‘Tools’ - ‘Borders’ - ‘Horizons’). All the Members of the European Parliament will of course be able to participate in the work of the Agora. The European public will also be able to follow all the debates during the Agora live on Parliament’s internet site.
The programme for the Citizens’ Agora of 8 and 9 November 2007 is included below. For more information, and to read the participants’ contributions, visit the internet site: www.europarl.europa.eu
