Links to sections on the wiki site

Dear friends,

I would like to take this opportunity to repeat an open call for participation in the continuing education program and the policy workgroups.

Up to now, there are three readings in the CE program: "The United States of Europe " by Guy Verhofstadt, the Intervention of M. Nicolas Sarkozy before the Friends of Europe (Original text in French), and the chapter by FraserCameron on "Widening and Deepening". In a few days I will add a new article by Jean-François Drevet on 'L’Union européenne et ses périphéries' (in French). So far, there have been few readers among party members and it would be good to change this to make the effort of keeping the program going worthwhile.

There is also good news about the policy workgroups. The group on foreign policy has been constituted under my chairmanship with Jean-Pierre LaRochelle, Tomas Ruta, Ben Singleton and Andree van Hoevelaken. You may wish to have a look at the corresponding section of the wiki to see how the work is being structured. In a few words, there is a front page for the whole section on policy workgroups, with links to each specific workgroup sub-section. This includes pages for links, books, related documents and EU platform and collected amendments. In the particular case of foreign policy, there is a page for specific issues each of which will have its own links, books, related documents and EU declarations or new official policies. Of course, most of the content needs yet to be developed.

Please contact me if you are interested in joining the workgroup on foreign policy or chairing a new group on EU structure or science. Any suggestions will be most welcomed.

I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible in the upcoming convention at Brussels.

Best regards,

Josep Ll. Ortega
