Declaration 033/2008 - Over half of the Members of the European Parliament have signed the written declaration on youth empowerment in EU policies
15 July 2008
On the initiative of the European Youth Forum (YFJ), five Members of the European Parliament launched in April a written declaration calling on the European Union to devote more attention to youth empowerment in EU policies.
In order for a written declaration to be adopted by the European Parliament, over half all the 785 MEPs have to sign it over a period of three months. Two weeks ahead of schedule, 427 MEPs have already signed it, including Poul-Nirop Rasmussen, President of the PSE Group, Graham Watson, Chairman of the ALDE Group, Joseph Daul, Chairman of the EPP-ED Group, Francis Wurtz, Chairman of the GUE Group and Daniel Cohn-Benit and Monica Frassoni, co-Presidents of the Greens/EFA Group.
