I think just a general control of existing policies and laws in the EU would Reveal some nasty things- and that’s exactly what we need in order to change.
Transparency that many critical policies made in the EU parlament are nowhere near reaching the population, in many countries policies like about the single use plastic have reached governments and a few major cities and cooperations but not at all in a local space. Doing a general check up of these policies would be located increase awareness in the people.

Clear rules for the crypto market. So that the buying up of currencies cannot be controlled by private persons and countries. In addition, Krypton should be allowed as future currencies.
I'm a 25 years old european and italian citizen who is surprised and scared about how the social media are influencing older generations in their decision and opinion making processes.
Scared because social media are a new tool that these older generations are learning to use and most of the time they cannot discriminate between reliable and not reliable information and sources.
And that's how the populist and antieuropean parties are getting more and more concensus especially among these older generations: through social medias.
I would like the european istitutions to regulate social medias in a better way to prevent manipulation and spread of misinformation.
But at the same time I would like also EU institutions to " modernise ", invest more and take advantage of this powerful tool of communication of social medias for spreading information.
Becoming like an "influencer" for european values and for making people feel and be more close to and involved in political decisions and debates taking place in EU institustions. Doing this even at a greater magnitude than populist parties do to base their consensus with the main purpose of making themselves feel close as possible to people.
Right now, the recruitment process in EU institutions makes it so they are mostly staffed by a mostly white male audience with roots in or close to Brussels and its neighbouring countries. This leads to the lack of innovation, diversity, creativity and relatability that EU citizens tend to feel from the EU.
Change the recruitment process to make it easier for teams in EU institutions to be staffed by people from diverse academic backgrounds, careers, ethnicities, countries and life experiences.
Let's introduce a "national side (back)" for euro banknotes, that would feature a famous building/bridge from the given country [see: the back of 500SEK notes, fronts of DKKs] , plus the country's flag while having a constant theme. This way we can fight the narration that introducing euro means partial "loss of national identity".
— Romania to join the Euro area as soon as possible
— a more sustained and clear campaign about the European Union
— information about the cabins and the work of Romanian MEPs in particular, of MEPs in general
— how many Romanian MEPs’ offices exist in Romania and where they are located
— TV and radio
broadcasts with space dedicated to the work of the European Parliament and the European Commission
— a real time update of the European legislation Versus legislation, the creation of a European legislative office in Bucharest — organising visits to the European Parliament only, European Parliament visits to the European Parliament
I would like to suggest producing a documentary series with common funds aimed to broadcast on YouTube/social networks and each state's public TV channel. Each episode of this series should take no longer than one hour dedicated to getting to know a specific member state, its history, culture, traditions, as well as its importance for the EU and for the world.
By doing so, two aims would be reached: supporting European productions, and, above all, tightening the bonds between the EU countries/populations while bringing the Europe closer to its people.
More attention should be paid to bodies such as child protection at home, and Wiliam fearful group, etc., who are not in the best interests of the child, are abusing children or abused by their parents, etc.
Those authorities compel the child to be served by the parent who is fighting for the safety of the child is punished by a penalty payment or by placing it in care
General practitioner, etc., and paediatricians do not dare to put a statement on this on paper
False raapots and false info to the court should not be allowed to put money and power above all
Give these children back their lives they also earn to be a child

Student approaches in the Netherlands are now working for 1,5 years to shorten lines between all student cities to tackle corona related problems. We have students (representatives) from each student city in the Netherlands and Dutch-speaking Belgium, but also with ministries (Education, Health, General Affairs) and other public authorities (GGD, RIVM, Outbreak Management Team). We communicate with each other very quickly and can therefore switch very quickly to get relevant information from the right organisations.
In
addition to fast flagging signals, we also turn our hands away from the sleeves. A number of projects can be found at thuisbesmet.nl/blog.
Of
course, this can be done in one country, but it only becomes really interesting if we can share information with more cities. For example, we know well with what policy makers need to do in order to get something for each other and who do not listen and do their own thing (is a lot unfortunately...). How do we move this to other international communities so that more young people and young adults learn from it (peer-to-peer net-like)? How do we pass this baton?
In the Netherlands alone, we have been working for 1,5 years to find out who has what to say. This will be an impossible task to do at EU level and we can make very good use of what experienced insights here.
Yours sincerely, Thijs

We need aomethimg to believe in a new religion or ideology because when the motivation is more money, a child does not make sence, we should find an individual goal where more kids is not a negative.
Im croatian, i live most of my life in switzerland. But i wish, when i can finally come to the EU( aka croatia). I expect a strong democracy. As i witnessed the Direct democracy in switzerland. I think that would be better than elect some politicans . That will end up hearing more to lobbysits than us. I want a End to lobbysism. Uts modern Corruption.
Italy is in the process of being overwhelmed by its poor organisation for the use of the funds available, for too much bureaucracy, and for organised crime, I believe it would be useful to decompose the Italian Government by introducing European Commissioners and bringing the country back to better conditions, so that:
— the new generations have a better chance
— Europe is not an addictive but a tool and support for Europe, and
then at the end of the recovery process it includes a new government and system that keeps the country in self-management
All countries should have English as a official second language. The EU should be a federation. With strong federal government and strong law. To forced human rights to all States. Justice should be the same in all countries as federal justices. The tax and minimum salary should be this same in all countries and all states should be forced to accept euro as a currency.
There are abandoned buildings or in danger of collapse that were once large palaces or singular buildings, especially in villages and in the centre of some cities. We believe that it would be a good initiative to restore them and transfer or rent them to local entities or businesses, foundations, or youth associations in order to give life and continuity to our common European heritage. | #StandForSomething
Abolish the CETA Agreement and the Treaty between Europe and Mercosur... These two treaties are a folio! Both in terms of agricultural employment in Europe and the pollution caused by these two treaties.
I think europe must develop as a whole united front where we really work as one country for the benefit of all, Preserving our unique cultures but cooperating on a truly meaningful extension. I know that what I say may appeal like the thing europe is ready doing, but it’s a Delusion to think’s the case. Germany Tries to make Germany rich, France Tries to make it France rich, and Spain and Greece etc. all the same. We don’t really work for Europe’s sake, everyone is just using Europe’s expertise to benefit when in need or when they can. The small interest for protection, the strong interest for investments. It’s not a united front. And so I believe it is time to take this Huge step and go unite for a common benefit. I think each country that there is a need to leave them down to the same one using europe to take advantage of the economically unstable ones and they may don ‘t need to hold there or they should but them surely won’ t agree. The case is that it’s the main reason the whole idea may be utopian, but it shouldn't be this way.
Set up the learning of European languages (Czech, Hungarian, Polish, Danish, Dutch, etc.) in schools, colleges and secondary schools in order to make students feel their EU membership and the history of Central European countries (not just Germany).
I have hronic hepatitis B and gues wat im Anger Caus i cannot receive Medical treatment. So in Europe have many sic people from HIV, hepatitib or diabet who can not have received Medical care because the ar live in small place or cane’t pay for Medical treatment. I wont to see bug change in this case. Bulgaria like ekzample NEES for more hospital. Doctos, new Wey for treat people with hronic disabilitities. I need to watch big change. Unfortunately no ody d’t care for poor people. I need social change.
Support from EU institutional bodies, governments and (directly) the populations of its Member States, especially those most disadvantaged not only in economic terms but also in the spirit of EU integration, so that there can be aid to combat cold during the winter season. Much of the dwellings (specifically in southern European Member States) are not prepared to withstand the winter climate. These populations do not have the financial resources to support the heating of their homes, let alone sufficient support from governments themselves. As well as being a welfare issue, what is at stake is the health of EU citizens, from children, young people, adults and a large part of the elderly population, who have increasingly deteriorated from winter to winter.
The goal should be to make society more inclusive, so that we feel united and not every country individually, I think that more emphasis should be placed on learning the English language of 40 people, and on creating a high-speed rail network in Europe connecting countries so that we can travel faster and cheaply and learn from each other. This is perhaps the most important thing now, because without a sense of EU unity, it is likely that right-wing parties will increasingly take their part in this lack of unity.
In my view, it is crucial to change the European parliamentary system so that citizens can vote any Member of the European Parliament, regardless of the country of origin.
In addition, the United Europe still needs to “grow” and take more responsibility: for example, we should converge on a single foreign and defence policy in order to be able to deal with important or precarious situations, without abandoning the transatlantic pact with the US.
Finally, Europe needs to develop a cultural and economic process: as culture creates a European identity, there is a need to invest in education; with 25 % of global GDP and 6 % of the population, the EU can afford to dedicate a fund to education and sustainable economy.
My idea consists in developing Artificial Intelligence in order to keep in check crimes and criminals and in order to build trust and more than that, to build AI as a social construct or a religion. The purpose of my idea is to decrease the number of people who are afraid of technology and to use it as a tool for manipulating the masses, with beneficial intentions of well-being and prosperity.
I propose that all residents of my municipality use the composting of BOKASHI. This will allow us to have fewer organic waste in home-made composters and thus feed the land into a natural fertiliser. In conclusion, we will only healthier food from our own crops.
The European Union needs to see something as an example when all the countries in this space will find themselves in a federation of states, which encourages us to hit the example of the United States, it is a great opportunity that this will be done to unite all countries under a single EUROPA name.
We could prevent wildfires, as we were facing now by anticipating fire and speeding up and eliminating CO2 emissions earlier than 2039. Buses in cities have the highest CO2 emissions in addition to conventional consumption.
If the Union is to survive in economic conditions and with the increasing threat to China, it must move factories from the china into the European bloc in order to be able to exist in the near future. America together with the European Union created China in today’s form and cheap labour has started to innovate. Clear is the only way to counter China’s power.
Create the necessary legislative environment for opening bank accounts for children, regardless of their age, to enable them to develop savings/credit, including stock market investments, for their future, and to be managed by children under parental supervision.
I would kindly ask the national authorities to change the law on the obligation of the address on the identity card. Although I am a Romanian citizen who is nascuted and increased in Romania, I do not have a Romanian bulletin. Because I did not address me in Romania, I am not entitled to receive a Romanian newsletter. Because of this impediment, my children aged 7 and 4 have never received the State allowance even though it is their right by law to receive the monthly allowance received from the State.
Slaughtering and hunting for dolphins, Grindadrap in DK, should be forbidden in whole of EU. It's absolutely outrageous that people can still continue to kill animals due to tradition or fun reasons.

I am privileged to have the opportunity to share an idea, thank you!
I strongly assume that the future Europe should be more regional based. The development of the regions should be the priority of the EU member states, as they are unique representatives of country's real, national image. So, it is crucial to ensure the cultural and social well being of enonomically disadvantaged communities, especially young people.
As a non- EU national, I think the EU and EAP countries could orgnize a joint project called "regional exchange trips", during which the young people from the EU based regions will visit the young people from EAP countries regions for the mutual exchange of cultures, regional habits, way of living etc.. This will surely make the connection between young people more vivid and will promote cultural exchange in a new format.
The european union has to be terminated and every country should get back its independence. It has failed to protect the european citizens from terrorist invasion. It has failed to stop the drugs, human and weapons trafficking. It has failed to offer prosperity for all its citizens. The whole project represents the fourth Reich and it has to stop. The unelected officials in Brussels are only concerned by the LGBTQI and green agenda without any consideration for the majority of the population.
Make sure that every European regulation is sustainable by implementing a ‘sustainability check’ for each policy proposal.
As indicated in the section on the salience of topics, climate change/sustainability is by far the most salient topic among the youth who submitted ideas about the future of Europe. The importance of this is further unscored by the fact that respondents explained how their future Europe would look like. It would be:
‘A Europe where everyone can breathe without poisoning themselves’ that ‘develops better ways to fight global warming’ where we ‘measure on how to reduce the damage, because without a planet to live on, there is nothing left to do’. (Girl, Spain, 15 years old)
There is a clear sense of urgency when young people write ‘Climate change now!’. When studying these ideas more in-depth a number of elements come to the fore.
First, although climate change is high on the (political) agenda of young people, a considerable number of youth stress that sustainability exceeds the issue of climate change. So young people do not only propose a long list of concrete ideas to combat climate change – e.g., ‘absolute use of renewable energy’, ‘sustainable forestry’ or ‘more subsidies for plastic-free packaging, restrictions on the use of useless, small-scale packaging’- they also stress that care for nature and the environment is part and parcel of a broader sustainable organisation of economy and society. In other words, young people not only plea for ecological sustainability but also for social and economic sustainability.
Second, young people differ in the level of concreteness of their own ideas. Some people formulated very concrete measures. These include a wide range of highly specific measures that range from ‘stimulate green energy’ over ‘prohibit cheap meat – ban factory meat’ to ‘planting an X amount of trees per year’. Other young people only talk about the general principles that Europe should follow or refer to the ultimate goals that should be striven for. Young people who formulate ideas at a more general level seem to be aware of the complexity of questions related to sustainability, the difficulty in finding a balance between short term benefits and long term costs as well as the different interests that are at stake.
Third, and directly related to the first element is that young people stress that there is no contradiction between attention for the ecology and economics. On the contrary, young people believe that focussing on sustainability will give Europe ‘a competitive advantage’ compared to other regions in the world. The synergy between ecology and economics becomes especially apparent in the context of farming and to a lesser extent forestry. Quite some young people stressed that it is important that Europe continues to produce its own food. In that context they plea for a different way of farming where products are produced on a ‘smaller scale’. More in general, they ask for a ‘long-term plannability for agriculture’.
Young people should be empowered to participate effectively in the democratic decision-making process and tools which inform them about what has been done with their proposals should be developed.
One clear frustration that underpins young people’s ideas concerns the feeling their voice remains often unheard. If one digs deeper into what they mean with this, it turns out that they plea for a broader involvement of youth in (European) politics. Rather than a ‘politics of youth’ (i.e., youth as a separate topic), respondents plea for a ‘youth politics’, that is, a politics that starts from the idea that young people are the future of Europe and that all measures and policies taken by the European parliament will affect young people most: ‘The great challenges we face as humanity, such as the climate crisis, the unequal distribution of resources, etc. are all problems that we young people will have to deal with. Today’s decisions influence our tomorrow and our future, so shouldn’t we also have a say?’ So they demand a seat at the policy table:
‘That it [Europe] seriously listens to us young people and works with us on progress. The times when politicians only get in touch with young people through symbolic meetings and photos are over. We have proven that we are interested in shaping Europe together and that we want to and are able to get actively involved.’ (Girl, Austria, 26 years old)
To be sure, our respondents are well-aware that young people are already represented at different levels of policy making: ‘The right direction have already been taken, but more efforts are needed’. They signal two important challenges. First, ‘young people are often invited to give their opinions and to get involved, but little is learned about how these inputs have been translated into actual policy change’. The quoted respondent referred to the eleven European Youth Goals and proposed to set up a platform to document the (political) implementation of these goals, to encourage best practice sharing and at the same time to facilitate low-threshold dialogues with decision-makers. This is a very concrete proposal that articulates an idea that in general terms is highly prevalent among young people, namely ‘it should be publicly visible which recommendations for action have been implemented and which have not.’ Young people want to hold politicians and policy makers (politically) accountable for what they have (not) done with their suggestions and proposals.
nvest in public transport so that young people can travel Europe more easily and cheaper and get to know young people from other European countries better.
Among the respondents, there was a strong longing for making more ‘Europe’ by increasing the opportunities to meet (young) people from other European countries. Quite some respondents, for example, argued that the Erasmus+ project should be expanded so that groups who now have little opportunities to participate in this project (or who are underrepresented among participants) get more opportunities in the future. Others argued that more opportunities should be created to develop the necessary skills to successfully exchange ideas. One respondent, for example, argued for the development of a platform that would render it more easy to learn the language of other European countries. Such proposals basically boil down to a very old idea, namely that in order to achieve a strong Europe with which people can identify, people from European countries have to get to know each other. It refers to one of the main challenges that each country in human history has faced. The concrete idea that was mentioned most, however, was not related to Erasmus+ or language learning, but related to something much more fundamental, that is, the ability to travel in an easy and affordable way throughout Europe. This proposal entails a number of key elements. First, it refers to infrastructure. Young people stress that they want more international trains. Traveling with these trains should, secondly, be possible with a discount for students and other young people to guarantee that getting to know Europe is accessible to all. To facilitate international travelling through Europe it is important to provide ‘better information for applying abroad [for jobs] and to have an explanation of what documents are required’. The latter example also illustrates that young people not only want to travel through Europe for leisure purposes. At least for a subsection of the respondents there is also a clear wish that Europe would facilitate intra-European labour migration.
Guarantee and facilitate the development of ‘youth spaces’ where young people can safely share ideas and concerns and develop their skills in every town in Europe.
Young people are well aware that during youth they learn, experiment and develop themselves. It is a phase of life surrounded by strong emotions and uncertainty. Many young people are given space to develop in their family and schools, but this is not always the case. Moreover, young people also want a place where they can experience some independence. Therefore, one idea that was frequently mentioned and which did not fit into the existing Themes proposed by the European Commission referred to ‘youth spaces’:
‘Having opportunities for the young people to interact with each other and to be able to make direct changes to their environment in sync with their vision for a better future and more importantly a peaceful future.’ (Boy, Bulgaria, 20 years old)
Young people called for ‘a space for young people in every town’. Different elements are important here. First, it refers to a place where people can meet and interact with other young people. Second, for some young people this call for more youth spaces is also related to issues of safety and care: ‘to have more youth spaces in Eastern Europe, and some of them to be open 24/7 if needed’. For others, however, youth spaces are more linked to issues of creativity ‘a space for creating positive change through the medium of arts (dance, drama, spoken word).’ Still others, link youth spaces to political engagement and empowerment:
‘We need to raise the awareness of privilege that is and what needs to be done to improve that. I therefore find it important to stand up for our values. Democracy lives of participation of diverse viewpoints. That's why space for exchange of opinions and ideas is so relevant.’ (Girl, Austria, 22 years old)
So although young people have clearly different motivations for asking for more investments in youth spaces, there is a great demand for further investments in developing public youth spaces. It is also clear, however, that respondents differ in what exactly they understand by the notion of youth spaces. We are well aware that developing ‘youth spaces’ may be a responsibility that national or local governments should take up. At the same time, one of the concerns that lingers throughout all ideas is that a Europe where regional differences are too large will never be a united Europe. In that sense, young people ask Europe to facilitate national and local governments where possible.
I think EU should go more "meta". A strong presence in cyberspace. A unique eID for each person who wants to adhere to and respect EU values with all legal repercussions if not. This should be on top of national institutions and governments. This new "layer" of EU should have the infrastructure to synchronise all birocracy and statuses of individuals with its corresponding national institutions and so removing all the headaches of individuals with different country birocracy and different mentalities, therefore unifying our values and making sure they are respected and we are evolving and creating for our future.
This eID should facilitate access to health, education, jobs, financial aid for startups and personal use and more.
Do we want to be united ?? Then we should get rid of the things that separate us, different flags, different hymns, different languages. A European Union with one flag, one anthem, one currency and one language (English). We should not be Romanians, Germans, French, Italians, but we should be Europeans
I believe that the voice of young people should be heard more in the EU. Already there have been taken some steps into realizing this. I propose that there should be more groups that young people can join. For example each country could have its own website, forum and page on social media, for young people that are interested into being evolved in the EU. Furthermore, group chats could also be created and gatherings of all the young people that are interested in being an active member in the EU, proposing new ideas and projects for a bright future

Create a compulsory young peoples' EU-wide national service programme, whereby for 2 months in the summer after turning 18, all young people in the EU could take part in a fully-funded national service scheme/local community development project. Through a reallocation process across the European Union, this would not only allow young people to meet one another from around the continent and build life-long relationships, but also increase an awareness of civic duty, European identity, EU unity and solidarity based on common goals and ideals. Mixed groups of young people from across the EU-27 could thus contribute to the development of various regions and rural areas, beyond their home countries, and support in-demand projects where necessary, whilst skill-building and learning for a better future.
I think that EU should enforce the social media to ensure that every social account represents a real person. If Facebook is considered a public place then the persons should not be able to hide their identity! If some person brakes the law in a public square (example: sexual harrasment, instigation, etc. ) it will be identified and arrested by police. Think about all the fake news that comes from fake accounts and what it causes worldwide. By forcing the social media to ensure the identity verification we can stop a lot of horrible things happening nowadays.
Covid-related restrictions on traveling should be eased for all vaccinated EU and non-EU citizens.
Right now, you cannot even apply for a tourist visa in Ireland, for example, even if you want to see a friend or a loved one. Though, Irish citizens can easily travel to other non-EU countries. This does not make much sense especially if the potential applier is fully vaccinated.

I am completely agree with you.
I am one of the person who have face the same problem since march, 2020.
It is really heart me when try to meet my Friend and relatives.
I don't really know if I should call it discriminations or not! or it's just a bed luck that I don't have the EU Citizenship when I am staying in EU for almost 10 years without any criminal record.
With due respect we need European parliament should help to solve this issue.
They should let to apply for visa at least for those peoples are in Europe and those who are fully vaccinated.

In order for the EU to reach its real potential, to be united in diversity, free movement of masts, workforces, people, synergies of legislation, bureaucratic apparatus, etc. – it needs a common language. The common language project will last for decades and must therefore be built and introduced into schools and institutions as much as possible. May be spoken English or a mix of European languages that can be assimilated to the population.
In the European Union, I want everyone to afford basic media such as electricity, gas and water. Unfortunately, prices are drastically high in Poland. In addition, the introduction of a single currency in every country of the community, as soon as it joins the Union and not, as is currently the case in PL, at an unspecified date
Training of specialised apolitical committees (in each country) in as many areas of activity as possible.
These vision people need to explore as many innovative ideas as possible: PCT, OSIM,
etc. Based on a study (use, usefulness, implementation, risk, etc.) this idea receives a score.
On the basis of this score (natural person, commercial company, etc.), credit is granted.
Fusion funds and development (20 % of the assets as well as 100 % of the decisions remain the owner, the remaining 80 % of the assets remain with the State financing).
As the project develops (turnover, employees, etc.) this “START-FUSION” receives development loans.
This procedure would speed up development in all areas without bureaucracy: Angel investor, credit banks, homologation, certificate... de, certificate... de, etc.
I propose free access to health, RELATED FOR ALL”
Introduction of a fee:
1. Health tax for each product affecting human health (the more harmful it increases...). In this category, those who pollute.
2. Food health tax in all food products between 1 % and -3 % in the restaurant. After all, we eat, but not the same quality....
The poor will pay less, who eat caviar will pay more.
Our health is directly proportional to what we eat and our environment.
We could create great sensitivity and solidarity between people.
1. Dissolve or stay decentralized. Federation isn't going to work so don't even try, don't even think about it. We aren't the US. We don't share a culture, we don't share national ideals, we don't even speak the same language. Take us Czechs and Slovaks as example. We are so similar, we even understand each other language-wise and we fell apart. How well do you think a federation of post-communist and western states, that are all so different from each other, will work together ?
2. Stop interfering in internal national matters. It is literally none of your business. We didn't spend100s of years under Austrian rule, and later decades under Soviet rule, just to listen to some random detached-from-reality people in Brussels. Our country, our rules. Be the middle ground between nations, nothing more.
3. If you wanna go down the "Progressive" route don't drag the rest of us down. If we want gay marriage, more than two genders or gender-neutral restrooms, we'll vote for people that'll do it - Leave us alone.
Implementation of the concept of a classic Ombudsman at the level of each European state, so that there is an independent and neutral institution to resolve or resolve intra-state problems.
Driving penalties should be changed from money penalties to time penalties, at least for people who have over X amount of income. If you go over the speed limit, instead of paying the X amount you will be forced to stay right in that places where you were pulled over for a specific amount of time.
For some people money are not a problem hence the penalties are equal to 0 for them. Time on the other hand is the most precious thing everyone has.
We say no more to driving deaths!
A system that makes us better able to communicate, we can get some of us up in altitudes.
We would evolve much faster, help and combat pollution because we were educating us.
Training local public administrations in adopting green policies, encouraging investment. This could be done if the European Union were to establish the function of European Commissioner in certain areas of deolation to help the ATUs in accessing the Structural Funds, but also empowering the competent authorising officers to comply with the principles and values of the European Union. I would point out that, as of this year, the position of the Prefect may also be occupied by political persons, so he can no longer be called a ‘new public official’. I am convinced that it is necessary to have a person outside the system who has a higher or at least equal rank to the Prefect in certain regions of the countries in order to facilitate the link between the EC and the ATUs, but also to raise concerns about possible irregularities/problems.

I see the future of Georgia without stray animals.
In my country, I would like to see more effective steps to be taken about stray animals. It is important to raise public awareness and adopt the right policy on this issue.
We need more informative campaigns, direct actions emphasizing that street animals are responsibility of our society, government. It should be highlighted that we have to take care of their well-being, their shelter, food, provide them loving and caring environment. I think it will be very interesting to exchange practices from other European countries in this regard.
Do simple and effective things to improve life and future.
Don't ignore your history, from yesterday to 100+ yers or more.
Know what happened as much as possible and understand it, take measures to prevent it for happening again.
Does it work? You'll see. If theres a need to change something, you'll do it fast.
To prepare for unexpected, you need to prepare for what already happened and don't allow it to happen again.
Teach childrens the stuff they need in life, not useless informations they don't care about or won't use them after highschool or college.
The justice sistem needs to be extremely serious and effective. Criminals don't have a place in this society, get rid of them once and for all. Eye for a eye, life for a life, its that simple.
Prison is for teaching people a lesson, a wake up call, not a free hotel payd with hardworking tax payers money.
Offer people the right to vote the laws too, ask for they're oppinions as well. It takes years for 1 law to get approved somethimes (90% of them), so theres a 1-2 months time for the citizens to get involved too.
The problem, the reason, the solution and do it fast. Thats the thinking we need for a better future.
Dear,
I think that a group of people are not fully represented in the EU. And Zwar, The Senior Groups.
In Germany, there is a Senior Citizens’ Advisory Board in almost all Länder, why is there not a Senior Citizens’ Advisory Board in the EU?
It would be good because demographic change demands it.
In addition, the elderly today are still fit and want to remain employed.
I am looking forward to receiving your feedback.

In today’s world, you are very much told about the ecology and impact of humans on the climate, suggest that the EU institutions set up a European company to undertake the construction of hyperloop trains connecting European capitals with the possibility for national authorities to expand other hyperloop connections within the country. On the one hand, green rail between countries will reduce the use of aircraft and the same CO2 emissions, on the other hand, the company’s revenues could contribute to the EU budget. Proposed mergers: Line 1 – Lisbon, Madrid, Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam, Berlin, Warsaw, Lithuania No 2 – Helsinki, Talin, Riga, Vilnius, Warsaw, Bratislava, Budapest, Bucharest, Sofia, Athens, Lithuania No 3 – Oslo, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Zagreb (with links between Vienna, Dublin and Bratislava) No 3 – Oslo, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Zagreb (with links between Vienna, Dublin and Bratislava)
The EU’s external policy in recent years has not overlooked democratic values such as human rights, especially towards Latin America. Today, the EU has little involvement in the region of the planet. The EU’s reactions with dictatorships such as Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua have also been very deficient, even though the position of the European Parliament has been clear. The External Action Service has failed to upset European values
You cannot build a sustainable Europe or society in a monetary system I humbly recommend a Resource Based Economy instead as an alternative to the other systems that became obsolete with time such as: Socialism, Communism, Totalitarian, Capitalism.
A Resource Based Economy system is not a perfect system but sure is a better one then what we have now.
Q&A:
a)How does this system work?
A Resource Based Economy system is a system where all planet earth resources will be declared common heritage for all people and nations on it.
b)There is money in a RBE system?
No, there isn't and besides that barter, trade and any form of exchange does not exist at all. To put it simply even in todays world people do not actually want money they want access to resources, because in a society where people have all their life needs met it automatically gets rid of crime, stealing, poverty, corruption and the most important thing war.
And to make an example for this; a poorer family that want to feed their kids in order to do that in todays system they need money for food vs in a RBE they just have access to it free of charge without wasting it like we do nowadays in the monetary system because it isn't profitable to give it for free.
c)What about distribution?
In a RBE we use smart resource management with the help of technology by measuring the carrying capacity of planet earth and its resources for example if we have sufficient resources to produce a certain product for all people on earth we will mass produce it and if we don't have it in order to produce it for all we will not do it therefore eliminating scarcity.
d)How can you provide the resources for all free of charge?
With the help of automatization of course, and what I mean by that is to fully or semi automate almost everything in each city.
e)How about energy you will need a high amount in order to power everything right?
Yes, that is right. But in order to do that we will use any type of energy that can be harnessed such as: Wind, Tidal, Hydro, Solar, Geothermal, Biomass, Nuclear Fusion and so on. Recent studies show that we have so much energy inside the earth produced by the heat from volcanoes that if it is harnessed we can have energy for about 2 million years if we build hi-tech efficient geothermal plants.
f)How the cities infracstructure and transportation system will lool like?
Cities will be build in harmony with nature, eco-friendly in a circular type manner with layers that will be interconnected with other cities like a living organism which is the most efficient according to many studies, each layer will have something as a component:
First layer (center) will have a super computer that controls everything in the city like automatization proccesses, temperature regulators in the people living centers and enviromental temperature and irrigation systems in the agriculture centers.
Second layer will have as its components research centers, offices, hospitals, schools, universities.
Third layer will have recreation centers like museums, art exposition, gyms, zones for practicing all sports, gaming centers with VR and AR, music centers.
Fourth and Fifth layers housing zones with homes made according to each needs and skyscrapper-like large living complexes.
Last layer will contain fully automatized hi-tech greenhouses or vertical agriculture and multipurpose factories for mass producing goods.
As for the transportation systems and delivery systems will have maglev high speed magnetic trains with 6000-10000km/h that are very good insulated inside-out in order that the human body can withstand it and high capacity carrying flying drones.
g) What will be the incentive that will motivate people to work if they have everything for free?
In the monetary system the incentive is money/wealth in the RBE people are liberated from routine, repetitive and high risk work therefore letting them having more time for pursuing their interests, everybody knows that when people work where they like it most thus improving rates of happiness, development efficiency and achieving each individual full potential. Another incentive is asuring the future of next generations to come and betterment of humanity.
h) Who will make the decisions in a RBE system?
The scientific community is best capable of coming up with solutions to the problems that will may occur in time.
I) But that is not like a dictatorship in that manner?
No, it is not because scientists do not tell people what to do, how to eat, when to sleep etc. choices are yours alone, no one will tell you what to do you against your will, you will participate and contribute in society however you may want and choose without external influence on your decisions.
j) How will people behave in general in that society?
People will be friendly to each other, help one another, motivate one another to become better versions of themselves, those who are religious will have special centers made according to their liking where they can express their religion in a peacefull manner and people will not speak outside of their area of expertise like for example:
Do you think humans will travel beyond our solar system?
Naaaah, not in a thousand years.
Vs
Do you think humans will travel beyond our solar system?
I do not have the expertise or neccessary knowledge in the area of space travel technology in order to give you an apropriate answer, but you can question people that work in that area and they might give you a better answer.
This is all what I have to bring as an idea for a better future. The fate of humanity is right now in the political hands of this world all of us are at the crossroads. May they choose wisely between creating on this planet Paradise or Oblivion.
A survey by the EU institutions or the governments of governments on topics proposed and surveys on the importance. Like the German electoralomat, I simply have a commentary function. In order to create more direct democracy and to showcase what citizens are listening to.
LYMEC's vision on institutional reform - European Commission
The Commission:
• Should be a political executive branch, not an apolitical or technocratic institution, and advocate the common interests of the entire Union.
• The composition of the Commission should be decided by a coalition formed by a majority of MEPs in the European Parliament.
• The Spitzenkandidaten system should be reformed. The President should be nominated and elected with a majority by the European Parliament and approved by the Council.
• Parliament may at any time cast a constructive vote of no-confidence against the President of the Commission, an individual Commissioner or the entire Commission.
• The number of commission portfolios should be reduced to a maximum of ⅔ of current member states, making sure that each region of the European Union is represented in the Commission. A rotation system may be put in place.
• Each Member State nominates two candidates, the President then selects out of this pool. Parliament eventually votes on these candidates individually.
LYMEC's vision on institutional reform - European Council
The European Council:
• Should be merged with the Council of the European Union into one council that is equated with the Parliament when it comes to lawmaking competence. This includes the right of initiative to propose new legislation.
• Should consist of representatives from the national governments.
• Should operate with a qualified majority on all policy fields including the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP), which means that 55% of the member states need to vote in favour, these member states should then represent 55% of the European population.
The blocking minority (at least four member states representing more than 35% of the EU population) should be abolished, while keeping the Ioannina Compromise.
• Should select one chairperson for a 5-year-period, who will lead the meetings and take care of the symbolic, ceremonial and diplomatic tasks of a state leader.
• Should increase its transparency. Generally, all its meetings including those not concerned with legislation as well as those of its subordinate bodies (preparatory bodies and Coreper) must be public and live-streamed
LYMEC's vision on institutional reform - European Parliament
The Parliament:
• Should offer Member States the opportunity to make use of single-member constituencies for national minorities, without permitting a (de facto) first-past-the-post system in cases of very small constituencies.
• Should have the right of initiative to propose new legislation. Suggestions should be able to be proposed by either a political group, a committee or a group of MEPs representing at least 5% of Parliament.
• Should continue having standing and temporary committees with a focus on specific political areas. The composition of the committees should continue to reflect the political composition in the Parliament.
• Should transition into a single seat parliament in Brussels to save on administrative costs.
• Should work to promote gender equality, e.g. by establishing a parental leave substitution system in the European Parliament, available for any of the parents.
LYMEC's vision on institutional reform - European Court of Justice
The European Court of Justice:
• Should be composed of at least one Judge from every Member State, either in the Court of Justice or on the Court of First Instance. This judge should be appointed by their member state’s high court.
• Should have the ability to enforce economic sanctions on a member state, if the Commission suggests such a proposal.
• Should be more open and transparent regarding its decisions. If a verdict is reached, the parties should have the right to get access to anonymised dissent among these judges
• Should continue having the right to interpret treaties and judge states, firms and private persons. Furthermore, we wish the court’s administrative capabilities to be strengthened to make the process of handling cases more efficient than it is now.
• Should examine the possibility of creating a “diversity advisory board” composed of a variety of professionals with diverse backgrounds and origins. This board would have the power to oversee current decisions and issue recommendations.

Establishing the Future Planning Center (FPC).
Humankind has reached a critical point in its development. Not only the further dynamic development of our species depends on the decisions we make in the coming years, but also the survival of the Earth and ourselves. The Future Planning Center will be an interdisciplinary team of experts, including scientists, economists, ethicists and futurologists. The team will consist of people from different countries, cultures, and genders, and they will be united by common goals related to setting paths for rapid, but planned progress of humankind:
1) Protection of species biodiversity
2) Stop global warming
3) Protection of water, air, land and forests
4) Counteract hunger, poverty and diseases
5) Conflict prevention
6) Activities for tolerance of dissimilarity
7) Promoting a plant-based diet
8) Stop the suffering of people and animals
9) Developing an interplanetary civilization
10) Begin using extraterrestrial resources
The time for disputes is over, it is high time for decisive actions!
The future in now or never!!!
If the EU wants to avert the real conflicts at international level, especially with regard to the much more difficult time ahead, it must, overall, commit itself to a profound institutional transformation. It is therefore essential to transform the existing EUROPEAN UNION, including the Western Balkans, Ukraine and Turkey, into the UNITED STATES OF EUROPE with a common constitutional treaty as soon as possible. The myriad of opportunities created as a result would automatically create a central cross-border overview of the sectors, institutions and resources available in Europe. This would make it much quicker and much more effective to tackle crises and disasters. And, incidentally, the rise of nationalists in Europe, all walking off the ground under the feet.
This and much more positive opportunities would open up for Europeans and make many aspects of daily life much easier, or turn for the better.
An energy-efficient industrialisation of the resulting living and economic areas, which would be revitalised not only in Europe’s regions at risk of depopulation through cheaper production on the ground, but could also disentangle Europe from the dependence of China’s factory, but also other intercontinental production sites.
In order to continue to secure peace in Europe and to strengthen the European continent in a sustainable manner, these objectives should have been achieved yesterday in order to be able to counter the ever-growing powers of China and Russia more robustly in the future.
Strengthen the bonds between kids and adults. Bring different generations and cultures together. Find ways for people to work less, and spend more time with their close ones. Create cultural communities for everyone. Come out, look, and talk to people different than you.
Human library on entrepreneurship. This will help young people entering the labor market or having a difficult start in life receive an important message - have hope, never stop trying and give back.
Develop EU citizenship :
- Talking and learning more about the EU (history, policies, benefits) at school (create a platform with online courses accessible to all?): make the EU easier to understand!
- Facilitate access to the Erasmus+ programme at university and why not open it up to high school students / facilitate access to volunteering / exchange programmes during summer holidays in other European countries: live the EU!
Transparency and monitoring of European funds is a good think but today the rules are too strict: it's all about benchmarking / good indicators and not about the objective of the project (why do a project): focus on the overall result and make European funding easier to get (too much administration and control is also losing money!)
help for the rural depopulation.
There 's a big issue in rural SPAIN.
We should encourage new settlements in the villages. People from the cities who can work online, can move to the Countryside.
There are travellers Dying because ther’s no children in schools. Or grant the population is too old.
Promote the settlement of immigrant or refugee families in these villages.
Jobs and affordable housing in the villages.
In some villages in Finland they have agreed on a salary to each family that settled with babies. This favours the continuity of the school and the life of the villages.
Offer online study options to the young people of the travellers so they don’t go to the cities, and they can continue living in the villages.
More leisure activities in visits for young people.
Campaign “your share knowledge”... so in this way for examining Baker, can teach the job to a young person. And the young person can read about the internet and social media... “win/win relation of knowledge.” —
I would like Europe to give visibility to initiatives that support the use of Latino as a “new” franc language. The Latino belongs to the roots of Europe and the most widely spoken languages in the European community are Romance languages. An Italian and a French or a Romanian and a Spanish could use Latino to communicate because it is a language they would learn more easily than English because they are very similar to their mother tongue.
Why does EU export hazardous e-rubbish to non-European countries Should 't the EU care about all people’s health as a whole
The EU should be equally Treating all countries and shoulder 't have made decisions that set out that people’s health in dangerous.
Anti-coruption control of state courts and state institutions by EU.
I think just a general control of existing policies and laws in the EU would Reveal some nasty things- and that’s exactly what we need in order to change.
Transparency that many critical policies made in the EU parlament are nowhere near reaching the population, in many countries policies like about the single use plastic have reached governments and a few major cities and cooperations but not at all in a local space. Doing a general check up of these policies would be located increase awareness in the people.
Clear rules for the crypto market. So that the buying up of currencies cannot be controlled by private persons and countries. In addition, Krypton should be allowed as future currencies.
I'm a 25 years old european and italian citizen who is surprised and scared about how the social media are influencing older generations in their decision and opinion making processes.
Scared because social media are a new tool that these older generations are learning to use and most of the time they cannot discriminate between reliable and not reliable information and sources.
And that's how the populist and antieuropean parties are getting more and more concensus especially among these older generations: through social medias.
I would like the european istitutions to regulate social medias in a better way to prevent manipulation and spread of misinformation.
But at the same time I would like also EU institutions to " modernise ", invest more and take advantage of this powerful tool of communication of social medias for spreading information.
Becoming like an "influencer" for european values and for making people feel and be more close to and involved in political decisions and debates taking place in EU institustions. Doing this even at a greater magnitude than populist parties do to base their consensus with the main purpose of making themselves feel close as possible to people.
Test 123
Have a nice day!
Right now, the recruitment process in EU institutions makes it so they are mostly staffed by a mostly white male audience with roots in or close to Brussels and its neighbouring countries. This leads to the lack of innovation, diversity, creativity and relatability that EU citizens tend to feel from the EU.
Change the recruitment process to make it easier for teams in EU institutions to be staffed by people from diverse academic backgrounds, careers, ethnicities, countries and life experiences.
Let's introduce a "national side (back)" for euro banknotes, that would feature a famous building/bridge from the given country [see: the back of 500SEK notes, fronts of DKKs] , plus the country's flag while having a constant theme. This way we can fight the narration that introducing euro means partial "loss of national identity".
— Romania to join the Euro area as soon as possible
— a more sustained and clear campaign about the European Union
— information about the cabins and the work of Romanian MEPs in particular, of MEPs in general
— how many Romanian MEPs’ offices exist in Romania and where they are located
— TV and radio
broadcasts with space dedicated to the work of the European Parliament and the European Commission
— a real time update of the European legislation Versus legislation, the creation of a European legislative office in Bucharest — organising visits to the European Parliament only, European Parliament visits to the European Parliament
.
The member states TV series
I would like to suggest producing a documentary series with common funds aimed to broadcast on YouTube/social networks and each state's public TV channel. Each episode of this series should take no longer than one hour dedicated to getting to know a specific member state, its history, culture, traditions, as well as its importance for the EU and for the world.
By doing so, two aims would be reached: supporting European productions, and, above all, tightening the bonds between the EU countries/populations while bringing the Europe closer to its people.

Hello
Student approaches in the Netherlands are now working for 1,5 years to shorten lines between all student cities to tackle corona related problems. We have students (representatives) from each student city in the Netherlands and Dutch-speaking Belgium, but also with ministries (Education, Health, General Affairs) and other public authorities (GGD, RIVM, Outbreak Management Team). We communicate with each other very quickly and can therefore switch very quickly to get relevant information from the right organisations.
In
addition to fast flagging signals, we also turn our hands away from the sleeves. A number of projects can be found at thuisbesmet.nl/blog.
Of
course, this can be done in one country, but it only becomes really interesting if we can share information with more cities. For example, we know well with what policy makers need to do in order to get something for each other and who do not listen and do their own thing (is a lot unfortunately...). How do we move this to other international communities so that more young people and young adults learn from it (peer-to-peer net-like)? How do we pass this baton?
In the Netherlands alone, we have been working for 1,5 years to find out who has what to say. This will be an impossible task to do at EU level and we can make very good use of what experienced insights here.
Yours sincerely, Thijs

Im croatian, i live most of my life in switzerland. But i wish, when i can finally come to the EU( aka croatia). I expect a strong democracy. As i witnessed the Direct democracy in switzerland. I think that would be better than elect some politicans . That will end up hearing more to lobbysits than us. I want a End to lobbysism. Uts modern Corruption.
Italy is in the process of being overwhelmed by its poor organisation for the use of the funds available, for too much bureaucracy, and for organised crime, I believe it would be useful to decompose the Italian Government by introducing European Commissioners and bringing the country back to better conditions, so that:
— the new generations have a better chance
— Europe is not an addictive but a tool and support for Europe, and
then at the end of the recovery process it includes a new government and system that keeps the country in self-management
All countries should have English as a official second language. The EU should be a federation. With strong federal government and strong law. To forced human rights to all States. Justice should be the same in all countries as federal justices. The tax and minimum salary should be this same in all countries and all states should be forced to accept euro as a currency.
There are abandoned buildings or in danger of collapse that were once large palaces or singular buildings, especially in villages and in the centre of some cities. We believe that it would be a good initiative to restore them and transfer or rent them to local entities or businesses, foundations, or youth associations in order to give life and continuity to our common European heritage. | #StandForSomething
It simplifies administrative procedures for both French and foreign
Ex: Have a single body dealing with the reimbursement of medical expenses, not 3 (social security, mutual insurance, over-mutual assistance, etc.)
ex: For residence permits, the approach is to be simplified.

Re-emigration of allogens and repeal of the Pleven law on incitement to hatred.
I think europe must develop as a whole united front where we really work as one country for the benefit of all, Preserving our unique cultures but cooperating on a truly meaningful extension. I know that what I say may appeal like the thing europe is ready doing, but it’s a Delusion to think’s the case. Germany Tries to make Germany rich, France Tries to make it France rich, and Spain and Greece etc. all the same. We don’t really work for Europe’s sake, everyone is just using Europe’s expertise to benefit when in need or when they can. The small interest for protection, the strong interest for investments. It’s not a united front. And so I believe it is time to take this Huge step and go unite for a common benefit. I think each country that there is a need to leave them down to the same one using europe to take advantage of the economically unstable ones and they may don ‘t need to hold there or they should but them surely won’ t agree. The case is that it’s the main reason the whole idea may be utopian, but it shouldn't be this way.
Set up the learning of European languages (Czech, Hungarian, Polish, Danish, Dutch, etc.) in schools, colleges and secondary schools in order to make students feel their EU membership and the history of Central European countries (not just Germany).

Support from EU institutional bodies, governments and (directly) the populations of its Member States, especially those most disadvantaged not only in economic terms but also in the spirit of EU integration, so that there can be aid to combat cold during the winter season. Much of the dwellings (specifically in southern European Member States) are not prepared to withstand the winter climate. These populations do not have the financial resources to support the heating of their homes, let alone sufficient support from governments themselves. As well as being a welfare issue, what is at stake is the health of EU citizens, from children, young people, adults and a large part of the elderly population, who have increasingly deteriorated from winter to winter.

The goal should be to make society more inclusive, so that we feel united and not every country individually, I think that more emphasis should be placed on learning the English language of 40 people, and on creating a high-speed rail network in Europe connecting countries so that we can travel faster and cheaply and learn from each other. This is perhaps the most important thing now, because without a sense of EU unity, it is likely that right-wing parties will increasingly take their part in this lack of unity.

In my view, it is crucial to change the European parliamentary system so that citizens can vote any Member of the European Parliament, regardless of the country of origin.
In addition, the United Europe still needs to “grow” and take more responsibility: for example, we should converge on a single foreign and defence policy in order to be able to deal with important or precarious situations, without abandoning the transatlantic pact with the US.
Finally, Europe needs to develop a cultural and economic process: as culture creates a European identity, there is a need to invest in education; with 25 % of global GDP and 6 % of the population, the EU can afford to dedicate a fund to education and sustainable economy.

I would kindly ask the national authorities to change the law on the obligation of the address on the identity card. Although I am a Romanian citizen who is nascuted and increased in Romania, I do not have a Romanian bulletin. Because I did not address me in Romania, I am not entitled to receive a Romanian newsletter. Because of this impediment, my children aged 7 and 4 have never received the State allowance even though it is their right by law to receive the monthly allowance received from the State.

You need to have a seniors over 65 section. I am ready to share ideeas and expperiences.
I am privileged to have the opportunity to share an idea, thank you!
I strongly assume that the future Europe should be more regional based. The development of the regions should be the priority of the EU member states, as they are unique representatives of country's real, national image. So, it is crucial to ensure the cultural and social well being of enonomically disadvantaged communities, especially young people.
As a non- EU national, I think the EU and EAP countries could orgnize a joint project called "regional exchange trips", during which the young people from the EU based regions will visit the young people from EAP countries regions for the mutual exchange of cultures, regional habits, way of living etc.. This will surely make the connection between young people more vivid and will promote cultural exchange in a new format.
The european union has to be terminated and every country should get back its independence. It has failed to protect the european citizens from terrorist invasion. It has failed to stop the drugs, human and weapons trafficking. It has failed to offer prosperity for all its citizens. The whole project represents the fourth Reich and it has to stop. The unelected officials in Brussels are only concerned by the LGBTQI and green agenda without any consideration for the majority of the population.
Make sure that every European regulation is sustainable by implementing a ‘sustainability check’ for each policy proposal.
As indicated in the section on the salience of topics, climate change/sustainability is by far the most salient topic among the youth who submitted ideas about the future of Europe. The importance of this is further unscored by the fact that respondents explained how their future Europe would look like. It would be:
‘A Europe where everyone can breathe without poisoning themselves’ that ‘develops better ways to fight global warming’ where we ‘measure on how to reduce the damage, because without a planet to live on, there is nothing left to do’. (Girl, Spain, 15 years old)
There is a clear sense of urgency when young people write ‘Climate change now!’. When studying these ideas more in-depth a number of elements come to the fore.
First, although climate change is high on the (political) agenda of young people, a considerable number of youth stress that sustainability exceeds the issue of climate change. So young people do not only propose a long list of concrete ideas to combat climate change – e.g., ‘absolute use of renewable energy’, ‘sustainable forestry’ or ‘more subsidies for plastic-free packaging, restrictions on the use of useless, small-scale packaging’- they also stress that care for nature and the environment is part and parcel of a broader sustainable organisation of economy and society. In other words, young people not only plea for ecological sustainability but also for social and economic sustainability.
Second, young people differ in the level of concreteness of their own ideas. Some people formulated very concrete measures. These include a wide range of highly specific measures that range from ‘stimulate green energy’ over ‘prohibit cheap meat – ban factory meat’ to ‘planting an X amount of trees per year’. Other young people only talk about the general principles that Europe should follow or refer to the ultimate goals that should be striven for. Young people who formulate ideas at a more general level seem to be aware of the complexity of questions related to sustainability, the difficulty in finding a balance between short term benefits and long term costs as well as the different interests that are at stake.
Third, and directly related to the first element is that young people stress that there is no contradiction between attention for the ecology and economics. On the contrary, young people believe that focussing on sustainability will give Europe ‘a competitive advantage’ compared to other regions in the world. The synergy between ecology and economics becomes especially apparent in the context of farming and to a lesser extent forestry. Quite some young people stressed that it is important that Europe continues to produce its own food. In that context they plea for a different way of farming where products are produced on a ‘smaller scale’. More in general, they ask for a ‘long-term plannability for agriculture’.
Young people should be empowered to participate effectively in the democratic decision-making process and tools which inform them about what has been done with their proposals should be developed.
One clear frustration that underpins young people’s ideas concerns the feeling their voice remains often unheard. If one digs deeper into what they mean with this, it turns out that they plea for a broader involvement of youth in (European) politics. Rather than a ‘politics of youth’ (i.e., youth as a separate topic), respondents plea for a ‘youth politics’, that is, a politics that starts from the idea that young people are the future of Europe and that all measures and policies taken by the European parliament will affect young people most: ‘The great challenges we face as humanity, such as the climate crisis, the unequal distribution of resources, etc. are all problems that we young people will have to deal with. Today’s decisions influence our tomorrow and our future, so shouldn’t we also have a say?’ So they demand a seat at the policy table:
‘That it [Europe] seriously listens to us young people and works with us on progress. The times when politicians only get in touch with young people through symbolic meetings and photos are over. We have proven that we are interested in shaping Europe together and that we want to and are able to get actively involved.’ (Girl, Austria, 26 years old)
To be sure, our respondents are well-aware that young people are already represented at different levels of policy making: ‘The right direction have already been taken, but more efforts are needed’. They signal two important challenges. First, ‘young people are often invited to give their opinions and to get involved, but little is learned about how these inputs have been translated into actual policy change’. The quoted respondent referred to the eleven European Youth Goals and proposed to set up a platform to document the (political) implementation of these goals, to encourage best practice sharing and at the same time to facilitate low-threshold dialogues with decision-makers. This is a very concrete proposal that articulates an idea that in general terms is highly prevalent among young people, namely ‘it should be publicly visible which recommendations for action have been implemented and which have not.’ Young people want to hold politicians and policy makers (politically) accountable for what they have (not) done with their suggestions and proposals.
nvest in public transport so that young people can travel Europe more easily and cheaper and get to know young people from other European countries better.
Among the respondents, there was a strong longing for making more ‘Europe’ by increasing the opportunities to meet (young) people from other European countries. Quite some respondents, for example, argued that the Erasmus+ project should be expanded so that groups who now have little opportunities to participate in this project (or who are underrepresented among participants) get more opportunities in the future. Others argued that more opportunities should be created to develop the necessary skills to successfully exchange ideas. One respondent, for example, argued for the development of a platform that would render it more easy to learn the language of other European countries. Such proposals basically boil down to a very old idea, namely that in order to achieve a strong Europe with which people can identify, people from European countries have to get to know each other. It refers to one of the main challenges that each country in human history has faced. The concrete idea that was mentioned most, however, was not related to Erasmus+ or language learning, but related to something much more fundamental, that is, the ability to travel in an easy and affordable way throughout Europe. This proposal entails a number of key elements. First, it refers to infrastructure. Young people stress that they want more international trains. Traveling with these trains should, secondly, be possible with a discount for students and other young people to guarantee that getting to know Europe is accessible to all. To facilitate international travelling through Europe it is important to provide ‘better information for applying abroad [for jobs] and to have an explanation of what documents are required’. The latter example also illustrates that young people not only want to travel through Europe for leisure purposes. At least for a subsection of the respondents there is also a clear wish that Europe would facilitate intra-European labour migration.
Guarantee and facilitate the development of ‘youth spaces’ where young people can safely share ideas and concerns and develop their skills in every town in Europe.
Young people are well aware that during youth they learn, experiment and develop themselves. It is a phase of life surrounded by strong emotions and uncertainty. Many young people are given space to develop in their family and schools, but this is not always the case. Moreover, young people also want a place where they can experience some independence. Therefore, one idea that was frequently mentioned and which did not fit into the existing Themes proposed by the European Commission referred to ‘youth spaces’:
‘Having opportunities for the young people to interact with each other and to be able to make direct changes to their environment in sync with their vision for a better future and more importantly a peaceful future.’ (Boy, Bulgaria, 20 years old)
Young people called for ‘a space for young people in every town’. Different elements are important here. First, it refers to a place where people can meet and interact with other young people. Second, for some young people this call for more youth spaces is also related to issues of safety and care: ‘to have more youth spaces in Eastern Europe, and some of them to be open 24/7 if needed’. For others, however, youth spaces are more linked to issues of creativity ‘a space for creating positive change through the medium of arts (dance, drama, spoken word).’ Still others, link youth spaces to political engagement and empowerment:
‘We need to raise the awareness of privilege that is and what needs to be done to improve that. I therefore find it important to stand up for our values. Democracy lives of participation of diverse viewpoints. That's why space for exchange of opinions and ideas is so relevant.’ (Girl, Austria, 22 years old)
So although young people have clearly different motivations for asking for more investments in youth spaces, there is a great demand for further investments in developing public youth spaces. It is also clear, however, that respondents differ in what exactly they understand by the notion of youth spaces. We are well aware that developing ‘youth spaces’ may be a responsibility that national or local governments should take up. At the same time, one of the concerns that lingers throughout all ideas is that a Europe where regional differences are too large will never be a united Europe. In that sense, young people ask Europe to facilitate national and local governments where possible.

Efficiency, quality, capacity, etc.
The EU should move into a more federal union. This is the only way that our countries can face challenges of our quickly globalizing world.
I think EU should go more "meta". A strong presence in cyberspace. A unique eID for each person who wants to adhere to and respect EU values with all legal repercussions if not. This should be on top of national institutions and governments. This new "layer" of EU should have the infrastructure to synchronise all birocracy and statuses of individuals with its corresponding national institutions and so removing all the headaches of individuals with different country birocracy and different mentalities, therefore unifying our values and making sure they are respected and we are evolving and creating for our future.
This eID should facilitate access to health, education, jobs, financial aid for startups and personal use and more.
Do we want to be united ?? Then we should get rid of the things that separate us, different flags, different hymns, different languages. A European Union with one flag, one anthem, one currency and one language (English). We should not be Romanians, Germans, French, Italians, but we should be Europeans
I believe that the voice of young people should be heard more in the EU. Already there have been taken some steps into realizing this. I propose that there should be more groups that young people can join. For example each country could have its own website, forum and page on social media, for young people that are interested into being evolved in the EU. Furthermore, group chats could also be created and gatherings of all the young people that are interested in being an active member in the EU, proposing new ideas and projects for a bright future

Create a compulsory young peoples' EU-wide national service programme, whereby for 2 months in the summer after turning 18, all young people in the EU could take part in a fully-funded national service scheme/local community development project. Through a reallocation process across the European Union, this would not only allow young people to meet one another from around the continent and build life-long relationships, but also increase an awareness of civic duty, European identity, EU unity and solidarity based on common goals and ideals. Mixed groups of young people from across the EU-27 could thus contribute to the development of various regions and rural areas, beyond their home countries, and support in-demand projects where necessary, whilst skill-building and learning for a better future.
I think that EU should enforce the social media to ensure that every social account represents a real person. If Facebook is considered a public place then the persons should not be able to hide their identity! If some person brakes the law in a public square (example: sexual harrasment, instigation, etc. ) it will be identified and arrested by police. Think about all the fake news that comes from fake accounts and what it causes worldwide. By forcing the social media to ensure the identity verification we can stop a lot of horrible things happening nowadays.
Covid-related restrictions on traveling should be eased for all vaccinated EU and non-EU citizens.
Right now, you cannot even apply for a tourist visa in Ireland, for example, even if you want to see a friend or a loved one. Though, Irish citizens can easily travel to other non-EU countries. This does not make much sense especially if the potential applier is fully vaccinated.
I am completely agree with you.
I am one of the person who have face the same problem since march, 2020.
It is really heart me when try to meet my Friend and relatives.
I don't really know if I should call it discriminations or not! or it's just a bed luck that I don't have the EU Citizenship when I am staying in EU for almost 10 years without any criminal record.
With due respect we need European parliament should help to solve this issue.
They should let to apply for visa at least for those peoples are in Europe and those who are fully vaccinated.

In order for the EU to reach its real potential, to be united in diversity, free movement of masts, workforces, people, synergies of legislation, bureaucratic apparatus, etc. – it needs a common language. The common language project will last for decades and must therefore be built and introduced into schools and institutions as much as possible. May be spoken English or a mix of European languages that can be assimilated to the population.

In the European Union, I want everyone to afford basic media such as electricity, gas and water. Unfortunately, prices are drastically high in Poland. In addition, the introduction of a single currency in every country of the community, as soon as it joins the Union and not, as is currently the case in PL, at an unspecified date
Training of specialised apolitical committees (in each country) in as many areas of activity as possible.
These vision people need to explore as many innovative ideas as possible: PCT, OSIM,

On the basis of this score (natural person, commercial company, etc.), credit is granted.
Fusion funds and development (20 % of the assets as well as 100 % of the decisions remain the owner, the remaining 80 % of the assets remain with the State financing).
As the project develops (turnover, employees, etc.) this “START-FUSION” receives development loans.
This procedure would speed up development in all areas without bureaucracy: Angel investor, credit banks, homologation, certificate... de, certificate... de, etc.
I propose free access to health, RELATED FOR ALL”
Introduction of a fee:
1. Health tax for each product affecting human health (the more harmful it increases...). In this category, those who pollute.
2. Food health tax in all food products between 1 % and -3 % in the restaurant. After all, we eat, but not the same quality....
The poor will pay less, who eat caviar will pay more.
Our health is directly proportional to what we eat and our environment.
We could create great sensitivity and solidarity between people.
1. Dissolve or stay decentralized. Federation isn't going to work so don't even try, don't even think about it. We aren't the US. We don't share a culture, we don't share national ideals, we don't even speak the same language. Take us Czechs and Slovaks as example. We are so similar, we even understand each other language-wise and we fell apart. How well do you think a federation of post-communist and western states, that are all so different from each other, will work together ?
2. Stop interfering in internal national matters. It is literally none of your business. We didn't spend100s of years under Austrian rule, and later decades under Soviet rule, just to listen to some random detached-from-reality people in Brussels. Our country, our rules. Be the middle ground between nations, nothing more.
3. If you wanna go down the "Progressive" route don't drag the rest of us down. If we want gay marriage, more than two genders or gender-neutral restrooms, we'll vote for people that'll do it - Leave us alone.
Implementation of the concept of a classic Ombudsman at the level of each European state, so that there is an independent and neutral institution to resolve or resolve intra-state problems.
Driving penalties should be changed from money penalties to time penalties, at least for people who have over X amount of income. If you go over the speed limit, instead of paying the X amount you will be forced to stay right in that places where you were pulled over for a specific amount of time.
For some people money are not a problem hence the penalties are equal to 0 for them. Time on the other hand is the most precious thing everyone has.
We say no more to driving deaths!

Training local public administrations in adopting green policies, encouraging investment. This could be done if the European Union were to establish the function of European Commissioner in certain areas of deolation to help the ATUs in accessing the Structural Funds, but also empowering the competent authorising officers to comply with the principles and values of the European Union. I would point out that, as of this year, the position of the Prefect may also be occupied by political persons, so he can no longer be called a ‘new public official’. I am convinced that it is necessary to have a person outside the system who has a higher or at least equal rank to the Prefect in certain regions of the countries in order to facilitate the link between the EC and the ATUs, but also to raise concerns about possible irregularities/problems.

A European Union passport instead of national passports.
I see the future of Georgia without stray animals.
In my country, I would like to see more effective steps to be taken about stray animals. It is important to raise public awareness and adopt the right policy on this issue.
We need more informative campaigns, direct actions emphasizing that street animals are responsibility of our society, government. It should be highlighted that we have to take care of their well-being, their shelter, food, provide them loving and caring environment. I think it will be very interesting to exchange practices from other European countries in this regard.
Do simple and effective things to improve life and future.
Don't ignore your history, from yesterday to 100+ yers or more.
Know what happened as much as possible and understand it, take measures to prevent it for happening again.
Does it work? You'll see. If theres a need to change something, you'll do it fast.
To prepare for unexpected, you need to prepare for what already happened and don't allow it to happen again.
Teach childrens the stuff they need in life, not useless informations they don't care about or won't use them after highschool or college.
The justice sistem needs to be extremely serious and effective. Criminals don't have a place in this society, get rid of them once and for all. Eye for a eye, life for a life, its that simple.
Prison is for teaching people a lesson, a wake up call, not a free hotel payd with hardworking tax payers money.
Offer people the right to vote the laws too, ask for they're oppinions as well. It takes years for 1 law to get approved somethimes (90% of them), so theres a 1-2 months time for the citizens to get involved too.
The problem, the reason, the solution and do it fast. Thats the thinking we need for a better future.

Dear,
I think that a group of people are not fully represented in the EU. And Zwar, The Senior Groups.
In Germany, there is a Senior Citizens’ Advisory Board in almost all Länder, why is there not a Senior Citizens’ Advisory Board in the EU?
It would be good because demographic change demands it.
In addition, the elderly today are still fit and want to remain employed.
I am looking forward to receiving your feedback.

In today’s world, you are very much told about the ecology and impact of humans on the climate, suggest that the EU institutions set up a European company to undertake the construction of hyperloop trains connecting European capitals with the possibility for national authorities to expand other hyperloop connections within the country. On the one hand, green rail between countries will reduce the use of aircraft and the same CO2 emissions, on the other hand, the company’s revenues could contribute to the EU budget. Proposed mergers: Line 1 – Lisbon, Madrid, Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam, Berlin, Warsaw, Lithuania No 2 – Helsinki, Talin, Riga, Vilnius, Warsaw, Bratislava, Budapest, Bucharest, Sofia, Athens, Lithuania No 3 – Oslo, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Zagreb (with links between Vienna, Dublin and Bratislava) No 3 – Oslo, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Zagreb (with links between Vienna, Dublin and Bratislava)
The EU’s external policy in recent years has not overlooked democratic values such as human rights, especially towards Latin America. Today, the EU has little involvement in the region of the planet. The EU’s reactions with dictatorships such as Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua have also been very deficient, even though the position of the European Parliament has been clear. The External Action Service has failed to upset European values
You cannot build a sustainable Europe or society in a monetary system I humbly recommend a Resource Based Economy instead as an alternative to the other systems that became obsolete with time such as: Socialism, Communism, Totalitarian, Capitalism.
A Resource Based Economy system is not a perfect system but sure is a better one then what we have now.
Q&A:
a)How does this system work?
A Resource Based Economy system is a system where all planet earth resources will be declared common heritage for all people and nations on it.
b)There is money in a RBE system?
No, there isn't and besides that barter, trade and any form of exchange does not exist at all. To put it simply even in todays world people do not actually want money they want access to resources, because in a society where people have all their life needs met it automatically gets rid of crime, stealing, poverty, corruption and the most important thing war.
And to make an example for this; a poorer family that want to feed their kids in order to do that in todays system they need money for food vs in a RBE they just have access to it free of charge without wasting it like we do nowadays in the monetary system because it isn't profitable to give it for free.
c)What about distribution?
In a RBE we use smart resource management with the help of technology by measuring the carrying capacity of planet earth and its resources for example if we have sufficient resources to produce a certain product for all people on earth we will mass produce it and if we don't have it in order to produce it for all we will not do it therefore eliminating scarcity.
d)How can you provide the resources for all free of charge?
With the help of automatization of course, and what I mean by that is to fully or semi automate almost everything in each city.
e)How about energy you will need a high amount in order to power everything right?
Yes, that is right. But in order to do that we will use any type of energy that can be harnessed such as: Wind, Tidal, Hydro, Solar, Geothermal, Biomass, Nuclear Fusion and so on. Recent studies show that we have so much energy inside the earth produced by the heat from volcanoes that if it is harnessed we can have energy for about 2 million years if we build hi-tech efficient geothermal plants.
f)How the cities infracstructure and transportation system will lool like?
Cities will be build in harmony with nature, eco-friendly in a circular type manner with layers that will be interconnected with other cities like a living organism which is the most efficient according to many studies, each layer will have something as a component:
First layer (center) will have a super computer that controls everything in the city like automatization proccesses, temperature regulators in the people living centers and enviromental temperature and irrigation systems in the agriculture centers.
Second layer will have as its components research centers, offices, hospitals, schools, universities.
Third layer will have recreation centers like museums, art exposition, gyms, zones for practicing all sports, gaming centers with VR and AR, music centers.
Fourth and Fifth layers housing zones with homes made according to each needs and skyscrapper-like large living complexes.
Last layer will contain fully automatized hi-tech greenhouses or vertical agriculture and multipurpose factories for mass producing goods.
As for the transportation systems and delivery systems will have maglev high speed magnetic trains with 6000-10000km/h that are very good insulated inside-out in order that the human body can withstand it and high capacity carrying flying drones.
g) What will be the incentive that will motivate people to work if they have everything for free?
In the monetary system the incentive is money/wealth in the RBE people are liberated from routine, repetitive and high risk work therefore letting them having more time for pursuing their interests, everybody knows that when people work where they like it most thus improving rates of happiness, development efficiency and achieving each individual full potential. Another incentive is asuring the future of next generations to come and betterment of humanity.
h) Who will make the decisions in a RBE system?
The scientific community is best capable of coming up with solutions to the problems that will may occur in time.
I) But that is not like a dictatorship in that manner?
No, it is not because scientists do not tell people what to do, how to eat, when to sleep etc. choices are yours alone, no one will tell you what to do you against your will, you will participate and contribute in society however you may want and choose without external influence on your decisions.
j) How will people behave in general in that society?
People will be friendly to each other, help one another, motivate one another to become better versions of themselves, those who are religious will have special centers made according to their liking where they can express their religion in a peacefull manner and people will not speak outside of their area of expertise like for example:
Do you think humans will travel beyond our solar system?
Naaaah, not in a thousand years.
Vs
Do you think humans will travel beyond our solar system?
I do not have the expertise or neccessary knowledge in the area of space travel technology in order to give you an apropriate answer, but you can question people that work in that area and they might give you a better answer.
This is all what I have to bring as an idea for a better future. The fate of humanity is right now in the political hands of this world all of us are at the crossroads. May they choose wisely between creating on this planet Paradise or Oblivion.
P.S: Time is against us.

LYMEC's vision on institutional reform - European Commission
The Commission:
• Should be a political executive branch, not an apolitical or technocratic institution, and advocate the common interests of the entire Union.
• The composition of the Commission should be decided by a coalition formed by a majority of MEPs in the European Parliament.
• The Spitzenkandidaten system should be reformed. The President should be nominated and elected with a majority by the European Parliament and approved by the Council.
• Parliament may at any time cast a constructive vote of no-confidence against the President of the Commission, an individual Commissioner or the entire Commission.
• The number of commission portfolios should be reduced to a maximum of ⅔ of current member states, making sure that each region of the European Union is represented in the Commission. A rotation system may be put in place.
• Each Member State nominates two candidates, the President then selects out of this pool. Parliament eventually votes on these candidates individually.
LYMEC's vision on institutional reform - European Council
The European Council:
• Should be merged with the Council of the European Union into one council that is equated with the Parliament when it comes to lawmaking competence. This includes the right of initiative to propose new legislation.
• Should consist of representatives from the national governments.
• Should operate with a qualified majority on all policy fields including the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP), which means that 55% of the member states need to vote in favour, these member states should then represent 55% of the European population.
The blocking minority (at least four member states representing more than 35% of the EU population) should be abolished, while keeping the Ioannina Compromise.
• Should select one chairperson for a 5-year-period, who will lead the meetings and take care of the symbolic, ceremonial and diplomatic tasks of a state leader.
• Should increase its transparency. Generally, all its meetings including those not concerned with legislation as well as those of its subordinate bodies (preparatory bodies and Coreper) must be public and live-streamed
LYMEC's vision on institutional reform - European Parliament
The Parliament:
• Should offer Member States the opportunity to make use of single-member constituencies for national minorities, without permitting a (de facto) first-past-the-post system in cases of very small constituencies.
• Should have the right of initiative to propose new legislation. Suggestions should be able to be proposed by either a political group, a committee or a group of MEPs representing at least 5% of Parliament.
• Should continue having standing and temporary committees with a focus on specific political areas. The composition of the committees should continue to reflect the political composition in the Parliament.
• Should transition into a single seat parliament in Brussels to save on administrative costs.
• Should work to promote gender equality, e.g. by establishing a parental leave substitution system in the European Parliament, available for any of the parents.
LYMEC's vision on institutional reform - European Court of Justice
The European Court of Justice:
• Should be composed of at least one Judge from every Member State, either in the Court of Justice or on the Court of First Instance. This judge should be appointed by their member state’s high court.
• Should have the ability to enforce economic sanctions on a member state, if the Commission suggests such a proposal.
• Should be more open and transparent regarding its decisions. If a verdict is reached, the parties should have the right to get access to anonymised dissent among these judges
• Should continue having the right to interpret treaties and judge states, firms and private persons. Furthermore, we wish the court’s administrative capabilities to be strengthened to make the process of handling cases more efficient than it is now.
• Should examine the possibility of creating a “diversity advisory board” composed of a variety of professionals with diverse backgrounds and origins. This board would have the power to oversee current decisions and issue recommendations.

Establishing the Future Planning Center (FPC).
Humankind has reached a critical point in its development. Not only the further dynamic development of our species depends on the decisions we make in the coming years, but also the survival of the Earth and ourselves. The Future Planning Center will be an interdisciplinary team of experts, including scientists, economists, ethicists and futurologists. The team will consist of people from different countries, cultures, and genders, and they will be united by common goals related to setting paths for rapid, but planned progress of humankind:
1) Protection of species biodiversity
2) Stop global warming
3) Protection of water, air, land and forests
4) Counteract hunger, poverty and diseases
5) Conflict prevention
6) Activities for tolerance of dissimilarity
7) Promoting a plant-based diet
8) Stop the suffering of people and animals
9) Developing an interplanetary civilization
10) Begin using extraterrestrial resources

Much more Europe than much less prosperity!
If the EU wants to avert the real conflicts at international level, especially with regard to the much more difficult time ahead, it must, overall, commit itself to a profound institutional transformation. It is therefore essential to transform the existing EUROPEAN UNION, including the Western Balkans, Ukraine and Turkey, into the UNITED STATES OF EUROPE with a common constitutional treaty as soon as possible. The myriad of opportunities created as a result would automatically create a central cross-border overview of the sectors, institutions and resources available in Europe. This would make it much quicker and much more effective to tackle crises and disasters. And, incidentally, the rise of nationalists in Europe, all walking off the ground under the feet.
This and much more positive opportunities would open up for Europeans and make many aspects of daily life much easier, or turn for the better.
An energy-efficient industrialisation of the resulting living and economic areas, which would be revitalised not only in Europe’s regions at risk of depopulation through cheaper production on the ground, but could also disentangle Europe from the dependence of China’s factory, but also other intercontinental production sites.
In order to continue to secure peace in Europe and to strengthen the European continent in a sustainable manner, these objectives should have been achieved yesterday in order to be able to counter the ever-growing powers of China and Russia more robustly in the future.

We should encourage new settlements in the villages. People from the cities who can work online, can move to the Countryside.
There are travellers Dying because ther’s no children in schools. Or grant the population is too old.
Promote the settlement of immigrant or refugee families in these villages.
Jobs and affordable housing in the villages.
In some villages in Finland they have agreed on a salary to each family that settled with babies. This favours the continuity of the school and the life of the villages.
Offer online study options to the young people of the travellers so they don’t go to the cities, and they can continue living in the villages.
More leisure activities in visits for young people.
Campaign “your share knowledge”... so in this way for examining Baker, can teach the job to a young person. And the young person can read about the internet and social media... “win/win relation of knowledge.” —
I would like Europe to give visibility to initiatives that support the use of Latino as a “new” franc language. The Latino belongs to the roots of Europe and the most widely spoken languages in the European community are Romance languages. An Italian and a French or a Romanian and a Spanish could use Latino to communicate because it is a language they would learn more easily than English because they are very similar to their mother tongue.
