The Conference on the Future of Europe comes to an end on 9 May and with that also the possibility to contribute on the platform ends. Since the launch of the platform on 19 April 2021, more than 50.000 participants have contributed and shared their ideas, commented on ideas of other participants, endorsed ideas and organised and reported on events taking place all over Europe. Their contributions are an integral part of this unique exercise of deliberative democracy. They have been and analysed and served as input into the work of the European Citizens’ Panels and the Conference Plenary.
On 29 and 30 April, the Conference Plenary session met for the last time and agreed to a set of 49 detailed proposals covering a wide range of subjects from climate change to health, migration and the EU in the world. This follows a yearlong exceptional journey of discussions, deliberations and collaboration by citizens from across Europe, on the kind of Europe they would like to live in. The representatives of the European Parliament, the Council, the Commission and from national Parliaments expressed consensus on the proposals. The citizens participating in the Plenary also expressed their positive positions on these proposals.
