28/10/09

Young Bulgarian politicians visited Brussels from the 26th to the 27th of October, being invited by the Bulgarian representatives of the European Commission and the program for “Young Bulgarian Politicians”. The young politicians who took part in the program were from the politically represented parties in the National Assembly, as well as young leaders who took part in “The Big Choice”. GERB’s representatives in the program were Milen Nikolov and Maria Papratilova. The target of the program is to familiarise the young politicians with the European Institutions.
The main topics during the two days were youth policy, energy policy, the fight against corruption and the trade policy of the European Union. There were several presentations carried out by representatives of the European Commissions, which gave a further chance for the young Bulgarian politicians to improve their knowledge about the sector policies of the European community.

The program for “Young Bulgarian Politicians” is financed by the European Commission. The target of the program is to introduce the work of the European Institutions to young socially active people and further explain the specifics of the work of the commissions. The next step of the program is to help the participants develop and contribute to the mutual economic, social and cultural situation.

There was a special highlight on the importance to work on an integrated method concerning energy and climate change in the Union and the world as a whole.

There is serious attention concentrated on youth policy. The young are viewed as a generator of ideas and innovations. Attention is also focused on the development of the young. The innovative and socially responsible thinking of the young is becoming a valuable resource to the aging European Union.

The European Union didn’t miss the chance to praise the actions of the new Bulgarian Government and the hard work put forth to earning back the trust of the European Institutions. The efforts put forth towards fighting the corruption and dealing with the financial crisis meet the approval of the European Union. The Sofia Metro was given as an example of a fine industrial project and there was reassurance that the European Commissions are ready to help finish other industrial projects with strategic purpose.
