on European Union establishes that only a simple majority of the Member States ( i . e . 14 Member States in favour ) is required to initiate the Convention .
This is the context in which campaigning for the European elections of 6 to 9 June 2024 will start . The campaign should be more European , following the recommendations made by Parliament in its resolution of 12 December 2023 on the European elections 2024 . Proposed measures include making the logos of the European political parties more visible on the national ballots , enhancing the visibility of the candidates from all political families who could preside over the Commission and setting up post-election procedures to strengthen the role of the European parties in the appointment of the President of the Commission . These proposals may be adopted by the European political parties at their respective congresses . Council must also adopt the new European Electoral Act during the 2024-2029 term ; this includes new measures such as a Union-wide constituency and transnational lists , with the goal of strengthening the European public sphere and overcoming the divergences of 27 national electoral systems .
For the 2024-2029 term of the European Parliament , a multitude of challenges awaits , each challenge demanding careful consideration and proactive solutions . It is time for the European political parties and others involved in the European project to disseminate the message , in their election campaigns , that a reform of the Treaties is necessary and urgent . In this regard , and inspired by the ‘ Ventotene Manifesto ’, the Spinelli Group in the European Parliament adopted the ‘ Proposal of a Manifesto for a Federal Europe : Sovereign , Social and Ecological ’ on 29 August 2022 , setting out a detailed programme towards a European federation that reflects the most innovative ambitions of the Conference on the Future of Europe .
