The European Movement International and the European Investment Bank will hold an Investing in the Future of Europe event Friday, 12 April 2019 (16:00-18:00, followed by a reception) on the island of Texel, the Netherlands. Designed as an opportunity to discuss the benefits of European integration, the event will allow speakers from all sides of society to give their perspective on how to invest in the future of Europe and how government, employers, unions and civil society can contribute in the debate about the EU.
