		The Convention for the Future of Europe was inaugurated on Feb.28, 2002, in Brussels, by 105 delegates from the EU's 15 member states and 13 candidate countries.
		While the Convention itself brings together a wide range of governmental, parliamentary and other representatives, the purpose of the Forum is to ensure that the debate goes wider still.
		After the launch of the Convention, it was decided by the ETUC (European Trade Union Confederation) to set up a contact group with four civil society organizations, with the intention of developing a structured relationship with the Praesidium of the Convention.

		The Convention on the future of Europe has to deliver options to answer the questions raised; this is why our working group delivers a document that provides clear proposals for changes to be brought to the future constitutional treaty.
		Most of the members of this working group are also members of the working group on economic governance, organized in the frame of the Convention on the future of Europe, and gathering representatives of different political views.
		On the other hand, the economic and social governance must envisage the challenges of the future enlargement with members that do not have consolidated market economies yet, who are still in transition and whose income per capita is much lower than the average income in the EU.

	Youth Contact Group \| Constitutional-Convention.net
		The Convention on the Future of Europe will be facing the specific challenge of bringing Europe closer to its young citizens, as set out in the Laeken Declaration.
		However, the average age of the sixty-six full members of the Convention being 54 – and the youngest being already 37 – the Convention members may have a lot of experience but they might be out of touch with the issues that concern younger Europeans.
		The European Youth Forum urges the Convention to seize this opportunity to involve young people in its work and asks that an article on youth policy be included in the reformed EU Treaties, as a sign of the EU’s commitment to the needs of its young citizens.

	The Convention on the Future of Europe
		It is necessary for the Convention to also address, as soon as possible, the central concerns of Europe's people, most notably the Union's role as an area of freedom and security, and as a global player in security and defence matters.
		As a consequence of the central preoccupation with Europe's role as a guarantor of peace, stability and security, it is essential to strengthen the institutional and financial capacity of the EU in the future.
		The Convention's task is to provide an arena to make these issues accessible to a wider audience, and to allow Europe's citizens to voice their ideas on the common future of our continent.

		The British government is represented by the Welsh secretary (but Europe minister at the time of his appointment), Peter Hain, while the parliament is represented by Conservative MP David Heathcoat-Amory and Labour MP Gisela Stuart (who, as the tabloids have been quick to point out, is actually German by birth).
		Bear in mind that the strongest disagreements are probably within the convention, between those federalists who want the commission to become much more powerful, and the anti-federalists, who are, generally speaking, the smaller countries and the accession states.
		Of course, in arguing that the convention will affect Britain's "constitution", the Conservatives are on slightly shaky ground since, historically, the UK does not have one, relying instead on mix of royal prerogative, parliament, case law, precedent and unwritten rules for the functioning of the state.

	Convention on the Future of Europe
		The Convention further needs to address the key issue of institutional and political space to ensure that the development objectives can be effectively pursued.
		We therefore urge the Convention to promote an increase in the accountability and transparency in the workings of the European Union, including in the development of policies and positions that govern the Union’s relations with developing countries.
		In this respect a Treaty Article should be proposed by the Convention on establishing a civil dialogue directly between citizens and their organisations on the one hand, and the decision making bodies of the Union on the other.
