(09 May 2018) – Today, on Europe Day, the European Commission is launching an online public consultation addressed to all Europeans, asking them what direction they want the European Union to take in the future.
This unique consultation, part of the broader Future of Europe debate launched with the Commission’s White Paper on 1 March 2017, was prepared by a panel of 96 citizens from 27 Member States, who came together on 5-6 May to draft a 12-question online survey.
In addition to the Commission’s work, Citizens’ Dialogues are now being organised by national governments in all Member States, following an initiative from France which received the support of the Heads of State or Government of the future EU27.
The consultation will run until the first EU27 Summit in Sibiu, Romania, on 9 May 2019.
