The European context
After the Conference on the Future of Europe, the European Parliament, with the support of the Commission, has taken action to demand that a Convention for the Reform of the Treaties be initiated, and will present a report with its proposals in the spring.
As we well know, the Council tries to stall and discourage the idea of initiating EU reform
On the occasion of the event on 2 December, the CoFoE Citizens’Panels Ambassadors – who also represented citizens in the plenary of the Conference - denounced the Council's silence and obstructionism.
The European Parliament needs to feel the support of civil society and citizens in its difficult battle to launch a Convention and reform the Treaties. It is up to us federalists to make this support felt, through concrete actions and initiatives, also by promoting the will expressed by the CoFoE citizens and by working in synergy with them.
Petition goals

"The European Parliament, with the support of the Commission, has already taken
action to call for a Convention to reform the Treaties. It is up to the Council of the EU to take action to allow this request tomove forward; but the Council and national governments try to discourage the
possibility of initiating EU reform. The Citizens' Panel Ambassadors of the Conference on the Future of Europe - who also represented the citizens in the Conference plenary - denounce this silent and
stalling behaviour of the Council which is damaging the potential of the Conference."
