ETTW is Spokesman for and Defender of The European Expatriates

One of the statutory aims of The Europeans Throughout the World is to act as a Spokesman for the European expatriates towards all authorities and be their defender. There is a particular attention to the European citizens (nationals of the EU countries) who live and work in a so-called third country i.e. a country outside the European Union area be it Europe, North and South America, Asia, Australasia or elsewhere in the world. There  are millions of them, and they are sometimes forgotten by the European authorities or by the national authorities of their home country.

The STOCKHOLM RECOMMENDATIONS

The STOCKHOLM RECOMMENDATIONS

 

new_icons_21.gif  The "Stockholm Recommendations" (icon  icon   English)   ( icon   icon   Français) , which bring together in summary form all the major demands and concerns that The Europeans throughout the World have worked on during the last 25 years, were adopted at the 25th Anniversary meeting held in Stockholm, at the invitation of the Federation Swedes Abroad, on 14 - 15 May 2009.

They have been sent to all EU Permanent Representatives and the Presidents of the Council, the European Parliament and the European Commission.

 

Stockholm, 14th May 2009

STOCKHOLM RECOMMENDATIONS

On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of their founding, The Europeans throughout the World, the confederation of associations of European expatriates, meeting in Stockholm at the kind invitation of the Federation Swedes Abroad, recalls that citizens of the European Union living in another country than their own throughout the world are estimated to number between 60 and 80 million, thus together forming the equivalent of a large member state, make very substantial contributions to Europe's presence in the world, and should be considered a great asset for Europe.

The Europeans throughout the World

urges European national governments and the institutions of the European Union, particularly the European Parliament,

  • to give political and practical recognition and support to this large body of citizens, many of whom have a very high degree of international mobility, consistent with and often a consequence of the progress of the EU and their professional and societal role within it;  

  • to act upon the following recommendations, which proceed from over fifty-five years of experience of the EU and twenty-five years of action, and which also build upon and extend the Paris Declaration adopted at the Meeting of European Citizens resident outside their country of origin in Paris on 30 September 2008.

25th Anniversary Meeting and General Assembly

Stockholm, 14 – 15 May 2009.



25 delegates and some with their spouses from 13 ETTW member associations met in Stockholm on 14 – 15 May 2009 upon invitation from the Swedish member association Swedes Abroad. The meeting had a particular importance as it was held at the eve of Sweden taking the EU Presidency for the second semester of 2009, and the delegates met with representatives of the Swedish political environment. The event celebrated the 25th anniversary of ETTW, but was forward looking as the delegates agreed on a set of recommendations – The Stockholm Recommendations – addressed to national and European authorities for the benefit of the 60 to 80 million Europeans living in another country than their own and for whom the ETTW serves as a spokesman and defender.

European Citizenship in its Diversity

Press Release   May 2006.

 

 

Study and Reflection Day

European Citizenship in its Diversity

Casablanca, 13 May 2006.

 

Under the auspices of the Wilaya of Greater Casablanca and the European Commission Morocco organised by The Europeans Throughout the World in collaboration with the Institut Marocain des Relations Internationales.

This Day which gathered more than 150 Moroccan and European participants falls within the objectives of The Europeans Throughout the World to organise the European diaspora. 

Casablanca was an ideal choice for a first meeting of its kind. This commercial, industrial and cultural metropolis has since a long time hosted numerous expatriates and the curious explorers of the world have left from here since a very long time ago.
