Dear Simon,

Im running a politics blog at rigardi.org (together with a colleague from Germany) and I was looking for an Irish perspective on the “No” for the Lisbon treaty, since the coverage of the German media was mostly unsatisfying (they tend to copypaste agency texts a lot).

I find your “Top 6, why the treaty was voted down” article very interested, and I would like to publish a translated version at rigardi.org, of course with all the credits and a backlink to The Dossing Times.

Please contact me by e-mail and tell me if this is okay with you.

best regards from Austria,

Georg Pichler

European Citizens’ Consultations
on the Future of Europe 2009

Dear Sir, Madam

In the run-up to the 2009 Euro-elections, the European Citizens’ Consultations 2009 (ECC 2009) will give citizens a voice in the debate over how to respond to the current economic and financial crisis by providing a platform for a pan-European dialogue on the future of Europe. In May 2009, 150 citizens from all EU countries will present their recommendations for our social and economic future to European leaders and candidate Members of the European Parliament. You can help them in this challenging task. Let your voice be heard! Let us know what you believe the EU can do to shape our economic and social future in a globalised world. The ideas which receive the most support will be discussed at the European Citizens Consultation in your country and then at European level.

Engaging in the debate on this website enables you to take part in ECC 2009 and get your voice heard. The website dedicated to the debate in Ireland is http://www.european-citizens-consultations.eu/ie or http://www.comhairliuchan-eorpach-do-shaoranaigh.eu People can post their comments and make recommendations for action, which will then be discussed at a series of national consultations – the Irish one will take place in March 2009 in Dublin – and at a European Citizens’ Summit in May 2009. The final recommendations will be presented to EU policy-makers on the eve of the European elections.

There are two times in this project when your voice is particularly important:

1. To generate ideas on the economic and social future of the European Union (December 2008 – March 2009): You can contribute to the debate on what the EU can do to shape our economic and social future, discuss the issues which are important to you with others, make concrete proposals and vote on proposals made by others. You can also mention the website dedicated to the consultation on your own site and help us promote the European Citizens’ Consultation.

2. Debate the recommendations (April – May 09)
The outcome of the European Citizens’ Consultations in all 27 Member States will be a list of recommendations from citizens on how Europe can shape our economic and social future. Comment on these results before they are handed over to European leaders!

The European Citizens’ Consultations 2009 are run by a unique consortium of more than 40 independent European partner organisations, led by the Belgian King Baudouin Foundation. These include foundations, NGOs, universities and think-tanks from all 27 European Union Member States, who will organise the European Citizens’ Consultations in each Member State.
