This event included a discussion between experts involved in the project and Spanish citizens about the impact European integration had on Spain and what citizens' expectations are for the future. In total 28 participants from nine EU countries (Belgium, Germany, France, the Czech Republic, Latvia, Poland, the UK, Luxembourg and Spain) were involved. The following day, the experts reflected on the main topics discussed with the Spanish participants and presented the preliminary findings of their research on their national perspective on the EU.
The project Building Bridges between National Perspectives on the EU is co-funded by the “Europe for citizens” programme of the European Union.

As such, it seems inexorably destined to (re)become an essential issue for the navies in charge of securing maritime activities.
