• Europe Consultation Paper (PDF, 110kB)

As Chair of the Liberal Democrats’ Europe Policy Working Group, I am delighted to welcome you to our website. The aim of this site is to allow you to get involved in the work of this Group and have your say on important issues relating to the future of Europe. In particular, this group has been set up to look at how we can optimise the EU contribution to achieving solutions to major European and international challenges.

Under my chairmanship the working group has produced a brief consultation paper which has been published on this site in early April and that will form the basis of discussion at a consultative session the Party’s autumn conference this year. However, this site also gives you the opportunity to join in the discussion online. We would be very interested to hear your views in relation to the issues outlined in the Group’s remit; you can do this by posting your comments here. Alternatively, you can contribute to the debate by submitting an article or articles relating to any aspect of the remit. Articles should be sent to articles@consult.libdems.org.uk

Taking into account comments and articles submitted via this site, discussion at our consultative session at conference, and evidence from individuals and organisations with knowledge and expertise in this area, the group will complete their review and produce a policy paper and motion to be debated at the Party’s conference in spring 2008.

I very much look forward to reading your discussions and contributions over the next few weeks.

Sir Colin Budd
