p-020953-00-06After several sessions already this year, the debate on the future of Europe is coming back to Belgium on 5 December. Plácido Domingo, the world-famous tenor and president of Europa Nostra, the European federation of heritage NGOs, will join Oideachas, Cultúr, Ilteangachas agus Óige Commissioner Androulla Vassiliou and Vice-President of the European Parliament Isabelle Durant for a Citizens' Dialogue with more than 700 people at BOZAR, Brussels. The debate will focus on the ways out of the crisis and the future of Europe, with an emphasis on the role of culture as a catalyst for European integration.

"The Citizens' Dialogue is an excellent way for European decision-makers to hear the views of the public first hand. I am keen for as many people as possible to take part in our event at the BOZAR: from school pupils and students, to mums and dads, to people working in the cultural and creative sectors, office and shop workers, business people, civil society and older people. Everyone is welcome. This is your chance to make your voice heard," said Commissioner Vassiliou ahead of the event.

Plácido Domingo added: "Europa Nostra and I personally are delighted to add our voice to the debate on the future of Our Europe. Our culture and our heritage define who we are. Culture - in all its forms of expression - is also a key resource for our future. Europe should therefore do more to deploy the full potential of this formidable resource. EU institutions, Member States and citizens should take more pride in the rich cultural heritage we have inherited from past generations and which serve as an inspiration and source of creativity for today and tomorrow."

The Citizens' Dialogue in Brussels is organised by the Representation of the European Commission in Belgium and the Chancellery of the Prime Minister, in partnership with BOZAR and Europa Nostra.

Other speakers at the event will include Paul Dujardin, Director of the BOZAR, and Michelangelo Pistoletto, the renowned Italian visual artist, who are both members of the European Commission's 'New Narrative for Europe' project, which aims to encourage artists, intellectuals and scientists to discuss Europe's future. The audience will also include representatives of the artistic and cultural scene in Belgium and members of the European Parliament.

The debate takes place from 19h30 to 20h45 in the BOZAR's Henry Le Boeuf Hall (23 Rue Ravenstein, Brussels). Doors open at 18h30. Television presenter Marlène de Wouters and ARTE journalist Vladimir Vasak will moderate the discussion.

The event is free to attend, but registration is compulsory via an suíomh seo. Is féidir an díospóireacht a leanúint beo trí sruth gréasáin. Is féidir le saoránaigh ó gach cearn den Eoraip páirt a ghlacadh trí Twitter freisin tríd an hashtag # EUDeb8 a úsáid.

The debate will be followed by a free concert, ‘European Inspirations’, from 21.00 to 22.00, featuring Belgian baritone Ivan Thirion, Georgian bass Kakhader Shavidze, Greek mezzo-soprano Alexandra Gravas and Portuguese fado singer Katia Guerreiro.

cúlra

Cad faoi a bhfuil Idirphlé na Saoránach?

I mí Eanáir, kicked an Coimisiún Eorpach amach ó Bhliain Eorpach na Saoránach (IP / 13 / 2), bliain atá tiomnaithe don phobal agus a gcearta. I rith na bliana, bhí Coimisinéirí i mbun díospóireachtaí le saoránaigh ar fud an AE faoina dtuairimí ar an Eoraip agus a n-ionchais don todhchaí.

A lot has been achieved in the twenty years since the introduction of EU Citizenship: the results of a survey carried out by the Commission last year shows that 71% of Belgians feel "European" (EU average 63%). Across the EU, citizens are using their rights on a daily basis, but not everyone is aware of these rights. For example, six in ten Belgians (61%) say that they would like to know more about their rights as EU citizens.

This is why the Commission dedicated 2013 to citizens and their rights. The Citizens' Dialogues are at the heart of the European Year of Citizens.

Cén fáth go bhfuil an Coimisiún ag déanamh seo anois?

Because Europe is at a crossroads. The coming months and years will be decisive for the future course of the European Union, with many talking about the need for more political union or a United States of Europe. But European integration must go hand in hand with strengthening the Union's democratic legitimacy: this is why the Commission is urging all citizens to make their voices heard in the forthcoming European elections.

Beidh Cad é an toradh ar an Dialogues?

Ceann de phríomhchuspóirí na nIdirphlé ná an talamh a ullmhú do thoghcháin Pharlaimint na hEorpa 2014. Cuideoidh an t-aiseolas ó Dialogues na Saoránach chun an Coimisiún a threorú agus é ag dréachtú pleananna le haghaidh athchóiriú ar an AE sa todhchaí.

Ar 8 2013 Bealtaine d'fhoilsigh an Coimisiún Eorpach an dara AE Tuarascáil ar Shaoránacht, A chuireann ar aghaidh 12 bearta nua nithiúla chun fadhbanna saoránaigh fós (réiteachIP / 13 / 410 agus MEMO / 13 / 409). Is é Tuarascáil na Saoránach freagra an Choimisiúin ar mhórchomhairliúchán ar líne a tionóladh ó Bhealtaine 2012 (IP / 12 / 461) agus na ceisteanna a ardaíodh agus na moltaí a rinneadh in Agallaimh na Saoránach ar chearta saoránach an AE agus a dtodhchaí.
