With a festive celebration in the Committee of the Regions and a public meeting of the “European Dialogue Forum” in the European Parliament as highlights in a diverse and chequered programme, FUEN can look back positively at the jubilee congress that took place in Brussels from 29 September until 2 October 2009. FUEN was founded 60 years ago in Versailles.

“We are glad and also a bit proud that we succeeded in organising such a high-ranking congress in Brussels. We have come much closer to our goal to be taken seriously as NGO-stakeholder on the European level. I am particularly happy with the engagement of our members, who made the congress a complete success”, said FUEN-president Hans Heinrich Hansen.
