2018 Edition of MEU Madrid
We are pleased to present to you for the fourth time in Madrid the Model of the European Union where you will have the opportunity to discuss relevant issues of interest to all Europeans and learn how the European institutions work. This year the MEU Madrid has the peculiarity that it will be in Spanish in order to foster the participation of Spaniards not fluent in English language and give the opportunity to foreigners to improve their level on Spanish.
The topics:
This year there will be a debate on two issues that have recently gained importance in European policy and have raised the debate on their possible revision.
On the one hand, an amendment to the European Regulation regulating the European arrest warrant will be discussed, and on the other hand, the amendment of the European Electoral Act regulating the Union's electoral processes.
One of the novelties of the MEU MAdrid 2018 is that in addition to the ordinary procedure for the approval of rules (Regulations and Directives) you will learn an extraordinary legislative procedure, a special approval procedure in which it is the European Parliament that has the legislative initiative, instead of the European Commission that generally holds the monopoly of legislative initiative.
