The EVENT

This EABCN Discussion Forum will consider a range of issues, such as, moving from rescue packages to a better steady state, coordination of fiscal policy among euro area country members, criteria for fiscal sustainability and enlarging the role of the European Central Bank.    

The Council of the European Union is certainly the most powerful institution of the European Union, as a major Community legislator – alone or with the European Parliament – and as an executive body.  Still, there is only limited knowledge of the Council’s decision-making and how the Council reaches an agreement.

It is our pleasure to invite you to the conference, "Building the EU Citizen Pillar", jointly organised by ECAS and Euronews Development. The event will take place on 5 November 2012 at the European Economic and Social Committee, and it will bring together prominent speakers from EU Institutions, academia, and civil society.
