Governance and citizenship

The Executive Board of the Conference on the Future of Europe agreed to allocate more seats in the Conference Plenary to local elected representatives, as well as to social partners. 

The Board amended the rules of procedure by adding to the plenary six elected representatives from local and six from regional authorities. They also agreed to increase the number of representatives from the social partners by four, to a total of 12. 

The Conference combines online and offline, local, regional, national and Europe-wide events, organised by civil society organisations and citizens, the European institutions, and national, regional and local authorities. These will all feed into the Plenary and the final report.

Next steps

In September, the first sessions of the European Citizens Panels will take place.
