BY Europeans abroad FOR Europeans abroad

We believe that Europe is the way of the future for our 28 countries/member states We believe that, in addition to rights and duties, European citizenship is about a sense of belonging to a broader transnational family with whom we share a common set of values, aspirations and strong ties built throughout history We believe that embracing European citizenship does not mean denying national or regional identities, but rather enriching ourselves as a modern community ready for a prominent role in the world today and tomorrow We believe that democratic participation is essential to the construction of the EU for the 21st century We believe that the EU Parliament represents EU citizens and not only citizens in the EU
