Citizens' concerns to dominate commission seminar
EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - The European Commission seminar on the future of the EU on Thursday and Friday will focus on citizens' expectations from the union, with the EU constitution not being the main item on the agenda. The college of commissioners will gather in the Belgian town of Lanaken, at a location fenced off from the Brussels media on Thursday and Friday (27-28 April) in a bid to hammer out a paper on the bloc's institutional deadlock due in May.
The commission paper will come ahead of a key EU leaders meeting in June, which will take place one year after the start of the so-called "reflection period" on the future of the EU following the French and Dutch rejection of the EU constitution.
