Dear liberal friends,   We would like to wish you a very happy New Year 2021!   We continue with our new concept of the Digital Assembly of LYMEC. This event will take place online on Saturday, January 30 at 10 h CET (Brussels time).  In an attempt to open to our member organisations and increase transparency, we would like to increase the amount of opportunities to meet the current leadership and discuss together the main issues we are facing today in Europe.   The agenda will be as follows: 

1. Part A will be dedicated to the Bureau presenting what has been done so far in the mandate and what the plans for the coming months are. This will be primarily an opportunity for delegations to ask questions and share their concerns with the current leadership.

Questions or comments for Part A can be sent to [email protected] ahead of the event or you can simply ask for the floor during the event.

1. Part B will deal with the proposals for resolutions of the working group on the renewal of our policy book. The outcomes of the last process will be available soon and you will be able to send your comments and proposals for discussion to our Policy Officer ahead of the assembly (by the registration deadline - 22 January 2021, end of the day). This discussion will aim at finding compromises, creating alliances, exchange views and prepare the work for Congress. In no way the discussions will have a binding effect, resolutions will be debated and adopted at our next Congress. Amendments to resolutions should still be tabled for the Congress. However, the opinion of the assembly will be transmitted as announcement during the working groups on resolutions taking place before the next Congress. All delegates will be able to intervene in the discussions following the rules of procedures in place.

Questions or comments for Part B including your proposals (before the end of the registration process) can be directly sent to both [email protected] and [email protected].   Schedule:  The meeting will start at 10 h CET (Brussels time) and end around 14 h. The event will take place on Zoom online conferencing platform.   Regarding registrations:
