The Daily European newspaper was beamed to Brussels from the year 2057. Ironically, there are two versions of the newspaper: one from a disintegrated Europe and the other from a flourishing Europe in 2057. Whichever one of the two versions will be reality in 2057 very much depends on the path chosen in 2007: Constitutional ambition or European decline?!

Major breakthrough in negotiations

Friday 21 March 2008, by Tina Fistravec français

The honorary editor of this newspaper, Daniela Grech, asked me to reflect our common past in the legendary Young European Federalists (JEF).

Taking a look back to 2007, things have gone from bad to worse for European unity. As little hope was then left to convince the European leaders to be ambitious about reforming Europe and fight off populists, as little has unfortunately been achieved.

December 2008 – Happy Birthday Eurobarometer !
During 2 days, high profile speakers had the opportunity to exchange with various representatives of the civil society, of students… about the evolution and the usage of the Eurobarometer surveys. Speakers like Margot Wallström, Jean Pierre Jouyet, Claes de Vreese, Enrique Baron Crespo, Jacques Santer, had intensive exchanges on the Friday and on the Saturday the “youth” had the chance to “take the floor”. I had the opportunity to represent JEF in these exchanges with some students from sciences-po and also other speakers. It was a very nice exchange of views and the opportunity to speak about what youth expects from the EU. I introduced the JEF manifesto which got a positive welcome and we also talked a lot about the programme Europe at school and the necessity to better inform and teach young people about European issues. You can find more information about the programme of the conference and soon its results on the => webpage <=.
