Recommendation 2

A quality mark or standard before deliberative exercises can be used as evidence in European processes, working with the JRC’s expertise, and accompanied by iterative development of evaluation feeding back into the standards. Based on OECD or European standards, and applying to deliberation exercises, such measures would prevent the creation of fake participatory processes, where the question, the process or the recruitment is seriously skewed, either to invalidate the results of authentic processes, or to give the veneer of legitimacy to a political communications exercise. (DEMNET reference?)

  • Designate participation officers in every DG. - Establish an obligation to consider citizen perspectives amongst high level policymakers in the EC's Code of Good Administrative Behaviour.
  • Ensure that DG Regio fund distribution to local regions and states are consistently and formally made conditional on the use of high-standard participatory policymaking methods. And where appropriate to establish governance structures over the long-term. This should affect at least: the European Regional Development Fund, the Cohesion Fund, and the Instrument for Structural Policies for Pre-Accession (ISPA).
  • Provide a platform at across European Institutions for other citizens assemblies on battling disinformation (in Germany and Serbia) or running a new one.
  • EDS as vehicle for reinventing civic education to safeguard and strengthen European democracy from the inside civic education also outside the classrooms, participatory processes as a measure for citizenship education (citizenship in practice, enhancing collective spirit, sense of ownership...)
