The European Referendum Campaign (ERC) is an independent, Europe-wide, cross party network of NGOs and individuals which brings together campaigners to fight for democratic development within the European Union. The ERC has one simple objective: to get referendums on the EU Reform Treaty in as many EU member states as possible. It is to run until the 2009 European Parliament Elections and will finish shortly afterwards. The ERC is an umbrella organisation hosted by Democracy International to support the local campaigns in the EU member states. The ERC will support these activities through its website, strategic advice, research, the organisation of events and by generating an international dimension to the whole campaign. The supporters of the ERC represent different political convictions and many views on the future of Europe. Our supporters vary from those in favour of adopting the EU Reform Treaty and those who are against it. However they are all united in the belief that you cannot build Europe without the consent of the people - and therefore the need for referendums on the new treaty. |
