Conclusions meeting ELDR Liberals in Brussels 4 December 2008

Daniel Tanahatoe

On Thursday 4 December 2008 representatives of ELDR member parties’ Brussels

based clubs, the European Liberal Forum (ELF) and the Friedrich Naumann Foundation

(FNF) in Brussels met at the ELDR HQ. They were invited by the ELDR party to get to

know the liberal network in Brussels, what the ELDR does in Brussels for the liberal

community and to discuss Brussels based initiatives for the campaign for the European

Parliament (EP) elections.

The 35

1

participants representing 17 member parties and organisations agreed on the

following:

1. “EU experts”:

ELDR will organise in cooperation with the ELF and FNF 3 training seminars for EP

candidates in Brussels between February and April 2009.

The member parties’ Brussels

based representatives agreed to:

•

ELDR will send an email to ask members to express which field of

expertise they work in and whether they’d be available to be counted

in a “pool of EU experts” based in Brussels and that can be contacted

if need be during the campaign for the EU elections,

•

This may include being a trainer/speaker for seminars on Europe that

ELDR will organise in the pre-campaign phase.

2. Brussels based activities:

•

The Brussels based member parties will disseminate invitations for

the ELDR Electoral Rally on 15 April 2009 to their members. ELDR

will provide the text.

•

ELDR will seek to establish an ELDR Brussels based activities

newsletter.

•

The Brussels based member parties’ clubs will disseminate more

systematically information on their activities to their sister parties and

to ELDR.

•

MR and Open VLD volunteer to host events organised by the

Brussels clubs of their sister parties in their headquarters

•

All participants agreed that ELDR can use their e-mail addresses for

ELDR communication.

3. Future opportunities:

•

Parties might organise joint activities in English (for example debates

with MEPs)

•

Once in a while (three to four times per year) the representatives of

the Brussels based clubs could meet informally, possibly at the fringe

of one of the events of the parties, to discuss other possibilities for co-

operation.

•

The informal co-operation could result in a Brussels “European liberal

club.”
