Irish "NO" makes "EuroFora" project even more urgent !
Irish "NO" makes "EuroFora" project even more urgent !
- Inside the "NO", there is also a "YES", has sharply observed the incoming EU Chairman (July - December 2008), French President Nicolas Sarkozy, in one of his most inspired speaches in Strasbourg, where he launched an historic appeal for Europe's "Renaissance".
(February and July 2007, See. : http://senas.canalblog.com/archives/2007/07/09/5559336.html )
Citizens' desaffection, since the 1st Majority Abstention in EU Elections back in 1999, confirmed in 2004 and on the 2005 Dutch and French Referenda, 2006 Polls, etc, returned to the Frontpage with the Irish Referendum of 2008.
Whatever practical solution might be found by the EU for the moment, one thing is certain : The European dream cannot be efficiently launched without making EU Citizens feel that it's their desirable Europe.
Everything shows that what EuroFora's founders had already guessed, as early as in 1997, when we drafted its precursor : the Pioneer-then Project for Innovative SocioEconomicuses of New Information Technologies, "EIW", has now become a real and urgent need to act :
- European Citizens' democratic Right to start actively participating in topical debates on the European decision-making process, is a new must !
And the only way to stimulate a much-needed European Renaissance.

It's at a splendid Natural landscape, inside a Forest plateau with superbe view over Paris, at Saint Cloud, that the incoming French EU Presidency had the good idea to join together all EU Member Countries' Ministers of Environment and Energy, in two overlaping EU Councils in a series, from 3 to 5 July 2008.
Fresh rain happily dissipated July's heatwave, before a bright Sun shined at the conclusion of the EU gathering around a huge statue of Earth (See Photo).
French super-Minister of State for Energy, Transport and Environment, Jean-Louis Borloo, and Minister for Environment, Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet chaired the first EU Ministerial meeting at Paris' area, together with EU Commissioners Demas and Pielbags, surprising Journalists with improvised Press-points, at key-moments of the discussions.
Environment and Energy are key to the development of New Technologies to boost Europe's role in the World, while also responding to Citizens' concerns, stressed Borloo, speaking to Journalists earlier in Strasbourg.
According to well-infomed sources from the French EU Presidency, the aim is to stimulate a growing trend inside EU Parliament, via various on-going Reports developping in parallel, towards achieving the necessary targets before December.
For this purpose, Top-level representatives from Borloo's super-Ministry are expected to come in Strasbourg during EU Parliament's plenary, next Wednesday, a key official told "EuroFora".
