Over the last months the sections of UEF Germany – Europa-Union Deutschland (EUD) – started organising numerous events, discussion rounds and workshops, where members reflect on the European federalist vision in the 21st Century. The aim is to prepare suggestions for a modern programme based on the ideas of Hertenstein of 1946.

The debate on basic principles was launched in November 2010 by the EUD Congress. In March the joint meeting of the Federal Committees of EUD and JEF provided substantial impetus for the debate. On 28 May some 100 members deepened the discussion and worked out concrete proposals at two simultaneously held programme conferences in Hannover and Würzburg.

The first draft of the new programme shall be presented at the EUD Congress on 26-27 November in Berlin. EUD would like to enter in a dialogue with other UEF sections on this topic.
