Edit Herczog, GÉANT’s Senior EU Liaison Adviser, features in the European Parliament Former Member Association (EPFMA) Bulletin this month with an article on the multiannual financial framework (MFF) and NextGenerationEU (NGEU) highlighting the importance of safeguards, checks and balances for the sake of future generations.
“We find ourselves at a crossroads, and we can either continue with our past behaviours, do things differently to ensure the welfare of all, or exclude part of society, maintain the welfare of a few and leave the rest behind.”
Read Edit’s take on the topic on pages 37-38 of the Bulletin.
