1.
TIESWeb changes funding strategy
Progress is made of individual
problems whose solution turns out to pave the way for large numbers
of similar cases. Tiesweb Board believes that whether to continue
or to stop Tiesweb activities beyond May 2005 may trigger a very
useful debate about sustainable financing of Transatlantic Citizens
Initiatives, while providing Tiesweb with a solution to its financing
from May 2005 till May 2006 (cost: 25.000€ or $33,000).

EU Referenda - Newropeans launches Yes-But Campaign: 'Yes to the
Constitution but with Democracy on top'
"In
order to be able to tackle the question of EU democratisation then
this Consitution must be behind us. If the No wins, it will be another
5 to 10 years of the same debates among our national elites, while
the EU machinery will keep on moving with citizens unable to do
anything about it." Therefore "Yes to the Constitution
but with Democracy on top" will be the motto of the campaign
recently launched by Newropeans - the first trans-European Citizen
Movement - dedicated to promote a real open debate on the future
of the European Union on the occasion of the EU referenda.
