Spring Federal Committee 2010

Last weekend from Friday evening till Sunday afternoon the Young European Federalists (JEF-Europe) held their spring Federal Committee meeting in the Slovak capital.
We opened the event with an interesting panel debate about the EU2020 strategy and gender equality with representatives of the European Commission, the Spanish EU Presidency, the Slovak Foreign Ministry and presidents of JEF-Europe and JEF-Slovakia in the majestic building of the old Slovak parliament.
It was an important milestone in our organisation as we discussed many important policy resolutions, especially the federalist manifesto, and re-adopted some lapsing resolutions, especially the one on EU-Turkey relations. Moreover, we said goodbye to our EVS volunteers Pia and Matej, we had an official farewell of the outgoing Secretary-General Curlypeter and we elected the new, incoming Secretary-General Ruben Loodts. Peter and Ruben will have a hand-over period this summer and Peter leaves the European secretariat on 31st August, while Ruben officially starts working as SG on 1st September 2010.
We had a very fruitful FC meeting last weekend in Bratislava with productive discussions, good resolutions and great parties!

JEF-Europe would like to thank the European Secretariat, the local organisers and volunteers of JEF-Slovakia as well as all participants for a great weekend!
