Dear Speaker, dear Colleague,
In the context of the economic and budgetary policies scrutiny, we are pleased to invite you to
the European Parliamentary Week 2019, on 18 and 19 February 2019, at the European
Parliament in Brussels. The European Parliamentary Week brings together Parliamentarians
from all over the European Union to discuss economic, budgetary and social matters. It
consists of the European Semester Conference and the Interparliamentary Conference on
Stability, Economic Coordination and Governance in the European Union.
The
European Semester Conference
provides an opportunity to exchange information on
best practices in implementing the Semester cycles, and to strengthen cooperation in order to
scrutinise the actions of the executives at national and European levels within the framework
of the European Semester.
The
Interparliamentary Conference on Stability, Economic Coordination and
Governance in the European Union
[Article 13 Conference of the Treaty on Stability,
Coordination and Governance in the Economic and Monetary Union (Fiscal Compact)]
provides a framework for debate and exchange of information and best practices in
implementing the provisions of the Treaty and aims to strengthen cooperation between
national Parliaments and the European Parliament. The Conference also contributes to
ensuring democratic accountability in the area of economic governance and budgetary policy
in the EU, particularly in the European Monetary Union, taking into account the social
dimension and without prejudice to the competences of national Parliaments and the European
Parliament.
We hope that your Parliament/Chamber will be represented at the European Parliamentary
Week 2019 and we are convinced that your participation will contribute to fruitful discussions
on these important subject matters.
For these purposes, please find enclosed the preliminary draft agenda. Practical details
regarding the meeting will be forwarded in due course to your Parliament's services
responsible for relations with the European Parliament.
Yours sincerely,
Antonio Tajani
President of the
European Parliament
President of the
Chamber of Deputies
President of the
Senate
