Proposals for a new youth agenda for the EU: YFJ main expectations of the next mandate of the European Parliament and the European Commission
As young Europeans, sharing a vision of Europe based on the values of democracy, peace, solidarity, sustainability, equality, human rights and freedom, and recognising the success of European integration, we stress that we can successfully face future challenges only if the EU is able to speak and to act as a real Union. We expect brave and innovative decisions from our national and European leaders and institutions and we want concrete benefits from the EU in our everyday lives.
Adopted at the General Assembly, Rotterdam, the Netherlands, 13+15 November 2008.
