A fully-fledged Economic and Monetary Union: the only way?
 The economic crisis has exposed the structural shortcomings in the setup of the current Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). An improved and comprehensive Economic and Monetary Union is necessary for Europe’s economic growth, for the euro to be a stable and durable currency, and for the increased trust and involvement of European citizens, or, in other words: for the future of the European Union. Find the discussion at the AEGEE Forum! |
EU citizenship: It's time to speak up!
Take part in the public consultation on EU Citizenship, carried out by the European Commission. The consultation is addressed to all EU citizens, organisations and other stakeholders interested in advancing EU citizenship, in order to know about the obstacles citizens might face in their daily life and to collect ideas about how to make simpler for EU citizens to enjoy their rights. The consultation will be opened until 7 December 2015. |
