Federalists call for a consensual and discreet Chair of the European Council
On the eve of the European summit in Brussels which will decide on the name of the first so-called “President” of the European Council with a term of two-and-a-half years, the Young European Federalists (JEF-Europe) regret the lack of transparency and the undemocratic character of the so-called “election” process but insist on the appointment of a candidate with a pro-integrationist profile.

Ratification
of the Lisbon Treaty represents
a
new beginning rather than a dead end
 The
Young European Federalists (JEF-Europe) applaud Czech President
Klaus's ratification of the Lisbon Treaty shortly after their EU-wide
'Pen Action' calling for him to sign without delay. Nevertheless,
JEF-Europe is persistent in stressing the need for a prompt
implementation of the Treaty's provisions as well as for further
widening and deepening of the current European Union.
In
the words of Elisabeth Velle, Member of JEF-Europe’s Executive
Bureau: "We are delighted President Klaus has finally approved
what Czech citizens via their Parliament had agreed upon six long
months ago. Three weeks ago we sent him 27 pens from all EU member
states to urge him to sign the Treaty and I am happy he finally used
one of these pens and took our advice!"
