As the EU is approaching the next European Parliament elections there is more need than ever for a constructive middle ground between ‘more Brussels’ and ‘no Brussels’. The ‘Confederal Europe’ project aims to provide a positive case for confederal reform. It is possible to be pro-EU without allocating more competences to the EU institutions. Sallux presents its second publication in the ‘Confederal Europe project’ that emphasizes the relations between the peoples and nations of Europe and is pointing a way forward based on the Judeo-Christian roots of the EU in the spirit of the EU founding fathers. See tab PROGRAM for more information THE FUTURE OF EUROPE: THE CONFEDERAL MIDDLE WAY After this program you are welcome to attend the spring conference of the ECR Confederal Studies Network. This spring conference will take place right after the Sallux event in the same room. You can find more information on this program and register by sending an email to info@sallux.eu For those who have no EP accreditation we urge you to sign in before 3 April 2019……… We look forward to meet you at the Launch of this publication.
