>Preliminary Remark:
>The main topic in all our activities - also in the conference - is the
>topic of direct democracy. This term for us means: the completion of
>the parliamentary democracy by a strong people-oriented lawmaking by the
>people themselves (initiative and referendum). Therefore on the
>conference there will be no dicussions WHETHER we want more elements of
>direct democracy but HOW we can get them. What I want to say: If you
>want to discuss basically about sense or nonsense of direct democracy
>you will be dissapointed on the conference.
>
>Purpose:
>We want to meet personally, to learn about the situation in the several
>countries and to consolidate the network by finding common objectives,
>strategies and instruments concerning our work on European level to be
