Amicale

The European Parliamentary Association is pleased to invite you to its back-to-school event.

Join us on Tuesday, September 12, at 8 p.m., for a conference entitled “The outermost regions of the EU: what is their place in the European project? », which will be held in our premises, at 76 Allée de la Robertsau, in Strasbourg.

The conference will be held in French and will be followed by a cocktail. Please complete the form to participate: https://forms.gle/EZ8KvPvQSFGZKcsX9

The European Union supports the development of the most distant regions, called outermost regions: Guadeloupe, Guyana, Réunion, Martinique, Mayotte and Saint-Martin (France), the Azores and Madeira (Portugal) and the Canary Islands ( Spain).

What are the specificities and assets of these regions? How can the European Union support their development? And how do the outermost regions contribute to the main European policies?

We can count on the intervention of two MEPs who are particularly committed to these issues:

• Younous Omarjee, MEP for La France insoumise, Reunion national. In the European Parliament, he is a member of the Left group (GUE/NGL), President of the Committee on Regional Development and sits on the Committee on Budgetary Control. As a substitute member, he participates in the work of the Budgets Committee;

• Max Orville, MEP member of the Renew Europe group and President of MoDem Martinique. Mr. Orville sits on the Commission for Employment and Social Affairs, the Commission for Constitutional Affairs, on the Special Commission on the Covid-19 Pandemic and, as a substitute member, on the Commission for the Environment, public health and food safety. He is also Vice-President of the Delegation to the ACP-EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly.

We are looking forward to see you on that occasion.
