Krieger. “We all here share the same goal – shaping a better future for Europe and promoting our core European and Christian-Jewish values. Therefore, we are all excited about the ongoing Conference on the Future of Europe (CoFoE) – which at its best could be the first step to truly boosting European democracy, fostering the participation of citizens and shaping the future of Europe and the EU in accordance with our common core values. It should be a place where the hopes and dreams, visions and concerns of all Europeans are heard,” he added. “At CEC, we look forward to continuing to work together with COMECE  to contribute to the CoFoE. The voice of the churches and other religious communities needs to be heard in this process together with European citizens and other partners representing civil society in the region.” Learn more about the EPP Group Bureau meeting in Rome
