THEMES & ACTIVITIES

Concerted Action

Concerted Actions are agreed upon and bindingly adopted at by the General Assembly and implemented by the national commissions at national level. In this context, the national commissions commit themselves to approach their national members of the European Parliament, the delegations of the Council of Europe and, if necessary, the national parliaments and governments in the matter concerned. The European Conference’s presidency supports these concerted actions by organizing appropriate events at European level, approaching for instance the European Commission, the Council of the European Union and the Council of Europe. Participatory status within the Council of Europe offers particular opportunities for advocating our concerns.

By organising Concerted Actions the Commissions of the European Conference give a concrete common witness. Doing this they strengthen the European Cooperation on the particular issues of concern.

The General Assembly 2006 in Belfast decided to launch every year at least one Concerted Action per year.
