"The Presidency recognises the importance of dialogue with our citizens on European integration. This was particularly important during the Greek Presidency given that
that period marked the final phase of the work of the Convention, culminating in the presentation of the EU Draft Constitutional Treaty to the Thessaloniki European Council.
The Greek Presidency's e-Vote initiative, and other instruments created by the EU institutions, such as the Futurum website and the Convention website, have made an effective contribution to ensuring that our citizens' views on the future of Europe are heard.
At its meeting in Thessaloniki in June 2003, the European Council called upon the Italian Presidency to initiate the procedure laid down in Article 48 of the Treaty in order to allow the Intergovernmental Conference to be convened in October 2003 to approve the Constitutional Treaty. During that Intergovernmental Conference, the Presidency will endeavour to keep the public properly informed about the progress of the proceedings. The Italian Presidency's website will be one of the instruments used to disseminate information about both the IGC and all the other work carried out during these six months.
I would accordingly like to emphasise that the Italian Presidency attaches great importance to the participation of young people in European integration. As regards the implementation of the Commission White Paper entitled ‘A new impetus for European youth’, which is designed to follow up the Council Resolution on the framework for European cooperation in the field of youth, the Presidency intends to support the process of awareness-raising to increase the involvement of young people in policy-making and decision-making in areas which affect them. It is also proposed that suitable strategies should then be drawn up taking these considerations into account, following an analysis of the results of the consultation on the participation of and provision of information to young citizens of the European Union."@en1
