    Mr Josep Borrell Vice-President of the European Commission High Representative of the Union for the CFSP Rue de la Loi 170 1000 Brussels Brussels, 16th April 2021 Dear Mr. High Representative; Mr Vice-President of the Commission: A delegation from the illegitimate National Assembly of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, which emerged from the electoral farce organised on 6th December 2020 by the regime of Nicolás Maduro, recently paid a visit to Brussels and was officially received by the institution you lead. According to a statement you made on behalf of the European Union on 6th December, this spurious process took place in the absence of electoral conditions that could have guaranteed its credibility, without any respect for political pluralism, and in an atmosphere of persecution and disqualification of democratic leaders whose legitimate rights were curtailed. Your statement concludes that such circumstances could not consider this process credible, inclusive, and transparent and therefore the results did not represent the will of the Venezuelan people. That initial statement was confirmed on 6 January of this year by a new declaration, in similar terms to those expressed on 6 December, and by the conclusions of the Foreign Affairs Council of 25 January. These reiterated the lack of recognition of the electoral process and regretted the behaviour of the authorities of the Maduro regime, whose actions are preventing a solution to the serious crisis in Venezuela. We were surprised and gravely concerned to learn that on 14th April, at your request, senior officials of the European External Action Service received the aforementioned delegation, comprising Iris Varela, Pedro Carreño and Desirée Santos Amaral, at the EEAS headquarters.

The objective is to progressively introduce an increased attention to the long term issues and to give to the EP's different stakeholders the opportunity to build their own vision of the long term major trends likely to impact their missions and their working processes. The purpose of the First Part (Part 1) of the Report was to initiate internal discussions, to raise questions and options (Part 2) as part of a continued and collective process to bring the functioning of the institution in line with its rapidly moving environment in a time of increased uncertainty. Methodology This First Part of the Report draws on analyses of mega-trends from academic literature. The methodology followed has been to compile central elements of theory from various disciplines (international relations, political sciences, social sciences, technology) concerning some key long-term mega-trends identified as relevant in the EP context. This short list of mega-trends is of course not exclusive. Academic works selected are among the most read and most frequently quoted ones. Those sources have been completed by recent empirical analyses or opinions from think tanks, research bodies, expert groups or the press, supporting hypotheses founded in theory.
