FEDERALIST VOICE
Network for a European Constitution

Brussels, 27 February 2002

PRESS RELEASE
CONVENTION ON THE FUTURE OF THE EU:
FEDERALIST CONTACT GROUP ESTABLISHED

Supporters of a European Federal Constitution have gathered in a common platform to present the federalist case to the Convention on the future of the EU.
"Federalist Voice: Network for a European Constitution" has been established in Brussels on Saturday, 24 February, by the "European Constitution" Intergroup within the European Parliament, the European Ligue for Economic Cooperation (ELEC), the European Young Socialists (ECOSY), the Gauche européenne, the International European Movement, the Liberal and Radical Youth Movement of the European Union (LYMEC), the Réalités Européennes du Présent, the Union of European Federalists (U.E.F.) and the Young European Federalists (JEF).

Environmental, social and other NGOs are gathering to be admitted to hearings with the Convention. Pro-European and federalist organisations should be given the same right. The network will follow the work of the Convention on the future of the EU closely and make its own contributions so that the Convention delivers genuine reform of the Union and elaborates a federal Constitution which can bring more democracy, efficiency and accountability for the whole of Europe.
