Today i have attended the debate leaded by Margot Wallstrom, the
vice-president of the European Commission, under the topic of ” EU
Communication After the Irish “No”. Mrs. Wallström generally talked
about the effect of Irish ‘ No ‘ in to other European Union countries,
the elections in United States and the power of Internet for the PR of
future elections, as well as the influence of young people and their
awareness in such topics.
I asked her the question to what extent she personally is aware of
the initiatives from youth associations and how much she supports
them, and mentioned about our Y VOTE 2009 project, since it was the
most coherent project for the days topic. She replied that she would
love to support such great initiatives and promised to be a part of
our project.
The meeting was held in the Representation of the European Commission
in Belgium, about 30 participants including ex-commissioners,
parliementers and journalists.
