European Movement Belgium

The European Movement International (EMI), founded in 1948 to
contribute to the establishment of a united, federal Europe, based on
the principles of peace, democracy, liberty, solidarity, and the
respect for basic human rights, appeals to the members of the European
Council to consider the importance of the Charter of Fun...damental Rights
of the European Union when selecting the President of the European
Council.

The Charter has been signed and solemnly proclaimed
by the Presidents of the European Commission, the European Parliament
and the European Council, and is largely supported by an overwhelming
majority of the EU citizens.

The EMI considers that the future
President of the European Council must be a true European, able to
represent the idea of a strong and united Europe and to commit to the
Charter of Fundamental Rights and its legal binding status as one of
the EU’s most important achievements.

The nomination of
someone who doesn’t fulfill these criteria would be in clear opposition
to the will expressed by the overwhelming majority of the EU Member
States, which ratified the Treaty of Lisbon without any “opt out”
clauses.

Now, more than ever, the EU needs to stand united
and, for that to happen, the European Council needs a President who is
able to fully represent the Union’s past achievements and inspire ever
new ones.Visualizza altro
