Europe’s economy could be boosted by €800 billion – equivalent to 6% of current GDP – if more action is undertaken at EU level, according to a study by the European Parliament. Creating a digital single market alone would generate an additional €260 billion, more than Denmark’s estimated GDP for 2014. The study looked at the cumulative efficiency gains of a series of policy actions at the European level to help set priorities for how the EU should invest its money the coming five years.
The potential efficiency gains identified vary from a wider and deeper digital single market to better coordinated national and European policies for defence and development. These beneficial policies have already been advocated by the Parliament in the current legislative period. While fully respecting the subsidiarity principle, MEPs always try to identify opportunities for greater efficiency at the European level
The study was carried out to identify the opportunity cost of not acting at the European level. The analysis draws in part on work carried out by parliamentary committees and major requests made by the Parliament in its various legislative and own-initiative reports.

Sonnenberg Kreis e.V. is looking for partner organisations for the International youth meeting ‘World Class Stories! to be held at International House Sonnenberg (Germany) in December 2014 / January 2015. The youth meeting is to be implemented within the Erasmus+ Program.
50 young people from 5 countries meet in the Harz Mountains to talk and discuss about the global concept of development, to get creative and to experience an outstanding new year!
There will be a lot of different activities in the seminar, like workshop units, team building and off course nice free time activities. The highlight of the youth meeting however will be – of course beneath the global New Year’s evening – the final show where all the results will be presented: Stage off for your show!
The project addresses young people with and without disabilities between 16 and 21– if you are a bit older or younger and still would like to join, you are most welcome to do so.

A new subject file entitled ‘The “Franco-German duo” and Europe as seen in cartoons (1945–2013)’ has recently been added to the CVCE’s publications. This file, developed by Marco Gabellini, historian and scientific collaborator at the CVCE and who was also member of the project group REPERES, contains more than 300 press cartoons that offer a humorous, quirky interpretation of this important historical period in which a united Europe began to take shape, and reflects on more than 50 years of Franco-German cooperation. The rapprochement that began in the early years after the Second World War between France and Germany, two countries that had been long-standing enemies, followed a unique path.
The file is available in French and English; a full German version will follow.
