Citizens' Dialogues NA-04-14-466-EN-C CITIZENS’ DIALOGUES: It’s about Europe, It’s about you! Citizens’ Dialogues: It’s about Europe, It’s about You! about Europe, It’s Citizens’ Dialogues: It’s European Commission Directorate-General for Communication http://ec.europa.eu/debate-future-europe/ #EUDeb8 3 Foreword The economic and financial crisis has triggered bold reforms in the European Union, with fur- ther big changes still to come. More and more decisions that directly affect the lives of citizens are now taken at European level. The democratic structures of our Union, therefore, have to be strengthened further. Citizens need to feel confident that their voices count. That is why, in September 2012, the European Commission started the Citizens’ Dialogues. President José Manuel Barroso and most Commissioners took part in the first series of 51 debates, held in all Member States to listen to citizens and to talk to them directly – about their expectations and ideas for the future of Europe. From the first debate in Cadiz to a unique Pan-European Dialogue in Brussels bringing together participants from previous events, the discussions had a European character: They were usually held with other European as well as national, regional and local politicians. And they inspired similar events initiated in several Member States. I hope the photos and quotes on the following pages serve to keep alive the memories of these debates, of the intense experiences we had. An analysis of this series of Citizens’ Dialogues shows how they are helping to develop a European public space: A space in which we talk with each other, not about each other. We have started a debate. We need to keep it going. Citizens’ voices count and we must continue to listen as we further enhance democracy at European level. Let us move this debate forward, with many more Citizens’ Dialogues. At European, national, regional, local level. For an even broader, truly European debate on the future of the European Union.

From that date onwards, nu- merous texts and documents would gradually build a «European educational space». The Lisbon Strategy of 2000 is an important milestone in this process. The main reference point of the 21st century is the Education & Training 2010 Work Program, which sets a clear framework at the European level for education and training. Re- cently, there was a new turning point of great significance, with the approval of Europe 2020 and especially with the launching of the Rethinking Education strategy. We are facing continuities and changes that need to be analyzed carefully. That is what I intend to do in this article entitled «The Blindness of Europe: New Fabrica- tions in the European Educational Space». In the first section, I will recall the major turning points in educational policies in the last two decades.

This year, the 11th Hessian Wine Festival will take place on Tuesday, September 6, 2016 at 7 pm at the Representation of the State of Hessen to the EU in Brussels. With our annual Wine Festival we bring together politicians, representatives from the EU- institutions and Member States, businessmen, academics, journalists and representatives of civil society in order to spend some pleasant moments apart from everyday business. As in past years we will welcome around 1000 guests. We look forward to taste a fine selection of local wines presented by winegrowers of the two Hessian wine growing areas (Rheingau and Hessische Bergstraße) and various local products with the label "Protected Designation of Origin" (PDO, PGI, TSG). It is also a tradition that the event is inaugurated by the Minister in charge of European Affairs and as highlight by a Member of the European Commission, such as in the past years the Commissioners Mariann Fischer Boel, Viviane Reding, Olli Rehn, Johannes Hahn and Günther H. Oettinger. Commissioner, last year unfortunately you could not follow our invitation to be our honorary guest of the Wine Festival.

  • European Commission
    EUROPEAN COMMISSION MEMO Brussels, 17 December 2013 European Parliament committee backs Commission proposal to protect euro from counterfeiting A key European Parliament committee has today backed a European Commission proposal to better protect the euro from counterfeiting through the use of criminal law measures (IP/13/88). The Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE) voted by 46 in favour, with 2 abstentions to support the Commission's proposal and enter negotiations with the Member States in the Council. The proposal aims to crack down on criminals who counterfeit euro notes and coins – a crime estimated to have cost at least €500 million over the past decade. New measures would include strengthening cross-border investigations and introducing minimum rules on penalties, including imprisonment, for the most serious counterfeiting offences. The draft law would also enable the analysis of seized forgeries during judicial proceedings in order to detect further counterfeit euros in circulation. "The euro is our common currency. If we don't take action to protect it, nobody else will," said Vice-President Viviane Reding, the EU's Justice Commissioner. "I am grateful to the European Parliament and to its rapporteur, Anthea McIntyre, for their support for the Commission’s proposal. This is solid work upon which we can build. I do regret however that the European Parliament did not agree on introducing minimum sanctions for the most serious offences. This would have been an additional deterrent for crimes against our common currency and it was supported by the European Central Bank. Mario Draghi knows what is good for the euro." "We will continue working closely with the European Parliament and Ministers in the Council to build on today's important vote and get the law adopted swiftly so we can close regulatory loopholes and put a stop to currency counterfeiting across the European Union," Vice-President Reding added.

  • Message of European Commissioner Ms Androulla Vassiliou Responsible for Education, Culture, Multilingualism and Youth
    Message of European Commissioner Ms Androulla Vassiliou responsible for Education, Culture, Multilingualism and Youth I would like to thank the Ministry of Education and Culture of the Republic of Cyprus for inviting me to the Conference on “Quality Assurance and Recognition in Higher Education: Challenges and Prospects”. Unfortunately because of other obligations, I am not able to be present at the Conference; however I send my warmest greetings to all participants. It is a great satisfaction to see my country Cyprus, to be leading such initiatives in order to promote quality in higher education. The Conference is expected to enhance the dialogue between Europe and Asia, a valuable partner in higher education, on issues regarding quality assurance and recognition. Moreover, the Conference will give the opportunity to Senior Officials and Experts to exchange experiences, expertise and good practices. As governments in most parts of the world have considered their agenda for higher education over the last few decades, issues of quality assurance and quality enhancement have been a major focus of attention. Quality assurance is a key priority and it can be achieved by keeping in mind the issues of relevance, costs, equity and international standards. Quality assurance systems have to meet the challenges created through the rapid development of the knowledge and information based society. They can best do so by facilitating institutions to evolve towards a culture of quality. Quality assurance is vital for making higher education attractive and trustworthy, in line with the objectives of the EU modernization agenda for higher education and the Bologna Process. Globalization, economic integration and increased academic and professional mobility are making mutual recognition and cross-border quality assurance increasingly important.

  • Hungarian Politics In-Depth an Anti-European Campaign in The
    Hungarian Politics In-Depth July 2013 An anti-European campaign in the making Fidesz has made no secret of its growing dislike of the European Union and especially its representatives. Viviane Reding is only the most recent high profile target in a long series of attacks on the EU and some of its leading politicians. Fidesz needs certain faces to attach to its anti-Europeanism at a time when the invocation of nebulous international forces attacking Hungary is emerging as key mobilising notion for the 2014 campaign. It's probably not a good idea to get on Fidesz's wrong side when Hungary's governing is in campaign mode. Even at its most relaxed, Fidesz's propaganda machinery is not known for its subtlety and finesse, but with an election pending it's more like a swarm of sharks with a scent. To said sharks, European Commissioner for Justice Viviane Reding must seem like a tasty appetiser en route to the main course due next spring. Why her, why now? Reding has angered the Hungarian right with her repeatedly expressed concerns over Fidesz's handling of constitutional amendments, especially in the context of the massive fourth amendment (discussed in detail in our March edition). In an unusually sharp rebuke for an EU official, Reding told the Austrian daily Der Standard that "[t]he state of law is not to be trifled with. A constitution is not a toy that one can change every few months." Reding is of course only the latest among a series of Fidesz's critics at the European level, and actually by far from the harshest.
