LDEG reconfirmed as a Liberal Democrat "AO"

11.48.35pm BST (GMT +0100) Wed 14th Jun 2006

During a recent party review LDEG was reconfirmed as an Associated Organisation of the party. This provides us with the right to:

a) Be consulted on policy matters of special interest to the AO or on which it has special knowledge or expertise;

b) To present evidence to any policy working group covering issues relevant to the organisation; and

c) To submit proposals for membership of any relevant policy working groups.

This represents just a small fraction of what LDEG does but is a good reminder of how important we are within the structure of the party to ensure that the Liberal Democrats remain interested in and keep informed about not only what is going on in Europe, but where we think it should be going.
