We would like to draw attention to the conference entitled ‘Democracy and the Eurozone’s Fiscal Pact: Are They Compatible?’ jointly organised by the Federal Trust, the Konrad Adenauer Foundation and the Global Policy Institute.
Date: 16th April 2012,
Time: 6.00 pm – 8.00pm
Venue: National Liberal Club, Whitehall Place London SW1A 2HE, UK
Conference Agenda: The conference will be considering the implications of the recently agreed Fiscal Pact for democracy in Europe. Critics of the Pact have claimed that it is essentially anti-democratic in character. The Pact’s supporters have argued that the democratic rights of European voters are protected at both the national and European level. This controversy will be at the centre of the conference on 16th April.
The speakers are:
Professor Vernon Bogdanor, Research Professor, King’s College London
Andreas Krautscheid, Association of German Banks (Bundesverband deutscher Banken)
Brendan Donnelly, Director of the Federal Trust
John Stevens, former MEP, will chair the discussion.
