The Conference on the Future of Europe – Finally, an opportunity for more top-down bureaucracy? By Stefan Thierse
On Wednesday, 10 March, the Presidents of the European Commission, the European Parliament (EP), and the Presidency of the Council signed the Joint Declaration on the Future of Europe. It establishes a Conference on the Future of Europe (CoFoE), which is intended to give citizens a greater say over the political agenda for the years to come. It is set to be launched on 9 May 2021 – the official Europe day – a year after its intended start date. This one-year delay is not only owed to the Covid-19 pandemic, but also caused by inter-institutional skirmishes over the CoFoE’s leadership and governance structure. While the Joint Declaration advertises the CoFoE as a “citizens-focused, bottom-up exercise” [emphasis in original], it is fair to say that from the start, the Conference has been everything but a citizen-led initiative.
