Your task

Firstly, each delegate is supposed to be aware of what European Union is. Get acquainted with the materials from this issue book about European Commission and your Directorate-General.

It is absolutely essential for you to know the topic (see Agenda, Issue Book) in order to debate effectively. We also recommend you to read the news related to the agenda.

Each delegate is an expert on the topic discussed and also a representative of one country (Austria, Germany and etc.). Please, search for the information about your country. You may even make up a kind of country profile (location, territory, population, natural resources, manufacture, export, import and etc.). Pay attention especially to the areas related to the discussion topic.

During the debates you will make speeches, ask questions, argue and certainly try to reach consensus all together.

So, please, get ready to make a speech. You can write it in advance or not, it is up to you. We recommend you to highlight the questions and problems related to the topiс which seem the most important to you. Estimate the existing situation in the EU with these problems. You can tell other Directorate-General members about your country’s experience in problem-solving in this sphere. You are also supposed to propose joint actions of the countries in order to overcome existing challenges. (for example, create special bodies, projects, programs, make sanctions and etc.)

REMEMBER! You should care about the whole European Union. Your main goal is to reach consensus with other members. Please, make sure your statements and proposals do not only promote your country’s national interests, but work for the EU also.
