Elysée Treaty: 60th Anniversary
The Impact and Potential of Franco-German Cooperation for the Netherlands
At the occasion of 60 years of Elysée Treaty we have the honour of inviting you to a panel discussion on Thursday, 19 January 2023, at 14:00hrs in Huis Schuylenburg, Lange Vijverberg 8, 2513 AC The Hague.
The Elysée Treaty marks a milestone in European history. It laid the foundation for further European integration and close bilateral cooperation. The 60th anniversary is a moment of celebration and reflection. What are the implications of Franco-German cooperation for our neighbour the Netherlands in a post-Brexit EU and beyond? How can the Netherlands benefit? And what can it bring to the table? Panelists Caroline de Gruyter, Géraldine Schwarz and Hanco Jürgens will discuss these issues from a Dutch, French, German and European perspective.
Sincerely, H.E. Mr. Cyrill Jean Nunn H.E. Mr. François Alabrune
