The EU in 2006 – A Commission Perspective

About the speech:

The recently appointed Secretary-General of the European Commission, Catherine Day, addressed a large audience at the Institute on Friday 10 February 2006.

Catherine Day structured her presentation around five core topics that she sees as central for the Union over the next 18 months. These are the Constitution, future financing, future enlargement, the Lisbon Agenda and the issue of re-engaging the citizen. Following her initial address, the Secretary-General engaged in a lively discussion with members of the distinguished audience.
