The European Parliament Elections will take place from 4 to 7 June 2009. This is an important opportunity for citizens to make their voices heard at a European level and QCEA will be supporting Friends and those in sympathy with Friends in their endeavours to engage with this process. Read more about the purpose of this work here.

These briefing papers give a variety of information on the European elections. This includes an introduction to the European Parliament, information on voting procedures in different EU member states and a series of briefing papers on different QCEA advocacy messages.

We welcome feedback on all of the work we do. But in the context of an election, this is even more important. We would love to hear from Friends and anyone in sympathy with Friends who uses this material so that we know how useful you have found it and what use you have made of it. In particular, we would be interested to hear of any interactions you have had with MEP candidates.

For anyone comments and queries please contact Anya Whiteside
