150 EU citizens from the 27 Member States will meet with top policy-makers tomorrow in Brussels for the 2009 European Citizen’s Consultations. The citizens will hand them their recommendations concerning the economic and social provocations that the Union faces. This event involves 250 000 online users and 1 600 randomly selected citizens from all the Member States whose task it is to recommend actions at the EU level. The recommendations will include “calls for wide-ranging measures to boost Europe’s economy, tougher supervision of the financial markets, more focused spending on research and innovation, increased investment in sustainable energy, the fight against poverty, promoting a better work/life balance, and action on education.”
