The Union of European Federalists (UEF),Young of European Federalists (JEF Europe), the Spinelli Group, with the endorsement of the Action Committee for the United States of Europe launch the Petition to the EU Council for a Union Act, a pan-European initiative calling on elected representatives to support a new step forward in European integration.

The petition calls on the European Council to simultaneously activate two key provisions of the Treaty on European Union:

Article 42 TEU — Establishment of a European Common Defence with shared capabilities, a common strategic command and effective collective security.

Article 48 TEU — Treaty reform based on the European Parliament's November 2023 proposal: ending the veto, reforming the EU budget in a federal direction, and strengthening democratic accountability.

The petition is addressed to elected officials — MEPs, national and regional parliamentarians, and mayors — who are invited to declare their willingness to join an Interparliamentary Assembly (Assise) to relaunch European political integration and to urge their national governments to push the European Council to act.
