Dear Friends, dear Members,

At the end of this year, I send you my best wishes for these end-of-year holidays and for 2025, hoping that the new year brings you health, happiness and success.

I would like to warmly thank you for your commitment and loyalty, which allow the Europe Group to continue working for a federal, sovereign and democratic Europe.

What we did in 2024

Over the past year, we are proud to have organized several high-level conferences, in hybrid format

  • on February 20 with Luis Romero Requena, Dr Gal of the Legal Service of the European Commission (2009-2020), on “the rule of law in the EU, in what state? », a meeting with representatives of European parties in Belgium;
  • on April 25, an event on the issues of the European elections;
  • on November 27, a conference on “Trump return and the need for a European Federation – Lessons learned from the Draghi, Letta and Niinistö reports” , in cooperation with the UEF and the UEF Belgian section;

The events gave rise to publications in various media (Fédéchoses, L'Info France, Graspe, The Federalist Debate):

We were at the Schuman roundabout for the European election campaign and on May 25 for the Brussels 20kms, and in Strasbourg on July 17 for the constitutive plenary meeting of the European Parliament, among a delegation from Brussels, Italy, France, etc. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064494740960

Alain Lamassoure, honorary president of the Europe Group, former Minister and former MEP, was in Bordeaux on May 30 to debate the issues for the European elections and we alerted European citizens to the risk of a lost French vote for the elections: la-campagne-et-lavenir-du-parlement-europeen-le-risque-dun-vote-francais-perdu

Some have found the time and energy to contribute articles to the federalist press and training courses intended for our colleagues, such as that of Paolo Ponzano on The distribution of competences in a federal Union on 28.11 (online), by JF Drevet “Expand the European Union? (the new components of an old dilemma)” on 19.09, or by myself on “Rule of law”, 23.05, in partnership with GRASPE.

Also note that UEF Group Europe has been approved as an Associate Member Organization of the World Federalist Movement/Institute for Global Policy (WFM/IGP)

Our projects for 2025

For the new year, we have many projects, including:

  • A conference on European Competitiveness in January-February (speakers to be confirmed)
  • An intervention on Sunday February 17, to present the European federalist movement to the AEPL group in La Hulpe
  • even more partnerships to bring you new meeting opportunities and topics for reflection.

To enable us to achieve these ambitions, your support is essential.

We therefore invite you to renew your annual subscription.

Amount of contribution: €30 to the UEF Europe Group account (IBAN: BE67 3100 2367 7887 · BIC: BBRUBEBB)

You are also welcome to make a donation to our association to help it pursue its objectives.

With my most cordial greetings,

Catherine Vieilledent
