Please spread the world and help us to follow-up these interesting developments and to spread the word if sth interesting will be published after this launch.

I think it is important to know, that the initiator, MEP Raul Romeva (Catalunya) will leave the Parliament - he could be an important ally for commons movements in Europe in the future.

Best regards

Press conference: Launch of Manifesto for the Commons in the European Union


Tuesday, 18th March. 12hs

ASP 5G2

During the 7th European parliamentary term, many debates took place concerning common goods, particularly given the first successful European Citizens Initiative, Right2Water. The commons are universal, they belong to everyone and they must not be appropriated by authorities and/or private interests. European Institutions, as guarantee for civil and fundamental liberties, for peace, for cultural diversity and for the preeminence of right, have to assure the respect and the care for the commons.  Therefore, tomorrow at noon we launch a Manifesto on Commons, calling on a permanent formal intergroup in the European Parliament for the next term to work on common goods and give them legal status. There, the Manifesto will be distributed in different languages (IT, ES, EN, FR, GR, DE)


On top, we will count with the special participation of Ms Anne LeStrat, President of Eau de Paris and Aqua Publica Europea, and Mr. René Fernández Revollo, Ambassador of  Estado Plurinacional de Bolivia in front of the EU.


Best regards,


Raül Romeva i Rueda (Greens/EFA MEP, ES)

Kriton Arsenis (S&D MEP, GR)

Thomas Händel (GUE/NGL MEP, DE)
