Fri Jul 27 23:55:29 CEST 2007

Dear Chantal and Franco,
Confirmation of participation in Stockholm and Brussels gatherings.
p.s. us largely destitute, debt- ridden, colonised celts are mostly short of a few bucks most of the time.
Enchante,

 yesterday, the IGC started in Brussels  to  implement the decisions taken in the last European Council so as to define the  new Treaty. The governments are going ahead, while our movement is quite...  blocked. This is a joke only to stress that few people answered us to comfirm  their participation in the meeting in Stockholm and, above all, in the Assembly  on the Charter of principles of another Europe which  we  are organizing in Brussels on September 20.
 We are sending you again the memoranda about this  two meetings

 best wishes

   Dear friends,

 as you probably know the network of the Charter of  principles of another Europe will organize an assembly on 20 September in  Brussels about how to continue the process in order to challenge the  intergovernmental
 decisions concerning the mini-Traty, discussed at  the last European Council. On this issue you should already have received a  communication on the timetable of the Assembly. I am enclosing it  again.

 We want to stress two things. First, it is as  important as it is urgent to know how many people from the Eastern and Western  countries are interested in taking part in the assembly. In fact, we will have  some financial support and we have to know the number of participants in order  to decide how best to use this not so large fund. If you can write to Chantal  Delmas (cdelamas at espaces-marx.org  ) and myself (fs.russo at tiscali.it  ), we can arrange the list (consulting before, of course, the entire  network).
 Time is running out, please give us an  answer.
 Secondly, we are going to organize a meeting of the  Charter network at the EPA of Stockholm on Friday 14 September (from 11 am to 5  pm). This meeting is very important to assess definetevely - for this time - the  draft of the Charter, which you can read on the Website (www.europe4all.org ), the proposals about  the issues and the timetable of the Brussels assembly, and to discuss how to  react to the decisions taken by the European Council on the  mini-Treaty.

 We hope that many people will come to the Stockholm  EPA and take part in our meeting.
 Thank you for your attention, best  wishes

 Chantal Delmas- Franco Russo

 European Network : Charter of principles for another Europe

 Proposals for the 20th  september

 We have decided to  hold a meeting with representatives of the social  movements from all Europe, interested by the process of the Charter  in  September 20th  in the European Parliament in Brussels.

  This meeting should allow a widening of the involved forces and a  popularization of Charte. The results of the European summit of States from   the 21st  and 22nd  June, with the decision about the mini  simplified treaty indicate that the question of the future of Europe will return  to the front of the political and social scene.

 -         the Charter of the  principles for another Europe is a perfectible document, supported on a process  which must widen, but which has the merit to be worked out by a diversity of  social movements, alter mondialists, trade-union, feminist, ecologists,  politics, in debates carried out since more than 2 ans.

 -         This European meeting of  September 20th will take place before the adoption of the mini Européen treaty,  envisaged in Lisbon October the 18th  and 19th .

 -         It gives to this meeting  an increased political importance to show that the debate for an alternative to  neoliberal Europe is growing up.

 -         It is also a question  that this text of the Charter is a tool to speak in the citizen debate   which has to be  developped in the whole Europe.

 -         We  think useful to  this stage to benefit from this meeting in the European Parliament to also  engage this debate with the European members of Parliament, of various groups,  which are interested by the process and  havea dialogue with the social  movements on the future of Europe.

 That's why we propose following unfolding for the day of September  20:

 -         9H30 12H: presentation  and debate on the Charter with the interested European deputies, interventions  of activists of the social movement and the parlementairies.

 -         13H30 - 17H: continuation  of the process of the Charter open to any interested persons of the movements  and networks falling under this process:

  - continuation of the debate on topics what do not make  consensus:

 1 -Which political Europe? (treaty or constitution, constitutional  process...)

  2-The question of secularity,

 3 -the question of the minority

 -which initiatives to take for the continuation of the process of the  Charter:

 -actions and initiatives to be set up after the 20th of  september.

 Could you give your opinion on this unfolding, so that we can make the  organisational decisions necessary with the GUE at the end of the week

  Thanks in advance

 friendly

 Chantal, Michel, Annick, Franco
