3rd European Cross Networking meeting on the Global Crisis

The financial crash is now haunting the planet for more than one year and has fully spilled over to the real economy,with the worst impacts for people still to come.Unemployment is soaring everywhere, insolvencies are reaching unprecedented levels, and social systems are even more put under pressure. This urgency however has not led the EU governments and the European Commission to truly change course.Instead of engaging in financial reforms which tackle the root causes of the crisis, the EU proposals so far are limited and short of what is needed to shape a sound financial system. The rescue and stimulus measures undertaken managed to avoid the total collapse of the economies, but are not enough to ensure a balanced system with stability in the long term.The European Attac Network, the Seattle to Brussels Network, Eurodad, Friends of the Earth Europe, Corporate Europe Observatory, SOMO Netherlands, WEED Germany, Transational Institute, CBRM, 11.11.11., CNCD and the Belgian Social Forum organised a High Level conference - To critically discuss the positions and proposal the EU is putting forwarding in the G20 meeting as regards the reform of the financial architecture and solutions to the economic crisis and - To present our proposals and solutions to solve the financial, social and ecological crisis and what kind of democratic process and public participation is required.
