This event would be the moment for communicating and explaining how the three EU institutions are following up and taking stock of progress at that stage of the process. To keep the citizens who have participated in the Conference informed, and to keep up the momentum, a feedback event will be organised in the autumn of 2022. These proposals will be amongst those to be included in the 2023 Commission work programme and beyond.
The first set of new proposals will be announced in President von der Leyen’s State of the Union address in September 2022, as well as in the accompanying Letter of Intent. For instance, building on the success of the European Citizens’ Panels, the Commission will enable these panels to deliberate and make recommendations ahead of certain key proposals, as part of its wider policymaking and in line with Better Regulation principles. It gives an overview of the next steps, setting out how best to learn from the Conference and embed participatory democracy into the European Union’s policy and law making. The Commission has published on 17 June a Communication offering a detailed assessment of what is needed to follow up on the Conference’s proposals.

These proposals covered nine topics: climate change and the environment health a stronger economy, social justice and jobs EU in the world values and rights, rule of law, security digital transformation European democracy migration education, culture, youth and sport. They included general objectives and more than 300 concrete measures, and the three institutions are now examining how to follow up effectively on them, each within their own spheres of competences and in accordance with the Treaties. On this day, the Co-Chairs of the Conference Executive Board delivered a final report containing the 49 proposals to the Presidents of the European Parliament, the Council and Commission.
Following an exceptional, year-long journey of discussions, deliberations and collaboration by citizens from across Europe, on the kind of Europe they would like to live in, the Conference on the Future of Europe officially came to a close on – Europe Day – in Strasbourg.
