Freedom Drive Demands
What can you do with the Freedom Drive demands?
-
The Freedom Drive will bring together an exciting programme which will offer you many opportunities to meet decision makers, for example Members of the European Parliament (MEPs), officials of the European Commission, representatives of Member State governments or permanent representations of countries outside the European Union.
-
Since you are already in Brussels, you have an excellent opportunity to set up meetings with Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) from your own country between programme items. You could talk to them about our Freedom Drive Demands and also about problems and policy recommendations from your national context. Make sure to tell them what ENIL is.
-
To help you set up a meeting, we have prepared some support materials. First, you will find a list of MEPs from the Committee of Employment and Social Affairs (EMPL Committee). When requesting meetings, prioritise those MEPs, because they are the most important for our work. Send the MEPs you would like to meet with an e-mail. Wait for two to three days and then call their offices to inquire.
-
When contacting MEPs from the EMPL Committee, you can put ENIL's Policy Coordinator Florian in cc if you want. His e-mail is florian.sanden@enil.eu. You could also contact him afterwards to give some feedback on how the meeting went. This is the link to a database which contains all MEPs who currently have a seat in the European Parliament.
-
Our support materials also contain a letter template which you can use to contact MEPs. You can adjust it, so it fits your purpose.
