The Federal Committee of the Union of the European Federalists, held in Brussels on December 12-13 2014, welcomes the President of the European Central Bank, Mario Draghi, words in Helsinki:
"Monetary union is more effective in securing the fundamental interests of citizens when common interests are recognised as such; and when the responsibilities that come with participating in a community are assumed in full. In other words, its ultimate success depends on the acknowledgment that sharing a single currency is political union, and following through with the consequences".
UEF will do whatever in its power to contribute to channel the aspirations and hopes of those who want to change Europe, and specifically the governance the eurozone and its economy which is the current priority, in a federal direction”.
