19/11/2003 (Agence Europe) the Democratic Association of French People Abroad (Association démocratique des Français à l'étranger) - Belgian section (ADFE) is organising on 25 November in Brussels a conference on "European Politicians in the Belgian Council Elections" (since the council elections of 2000 - and the European elections of 1999 - Belgium has granted the right to vote to nationals from other Member States). The conference is expected to draw up a balance sheet, mid-mandate review, of how the commitment by these politicians is going "within the Belgian political landscape", indicates a press statement issued by Bruno Jean-Etienne of the ADFE. Participants will include MEP Monica Frassoni and councillors Pablo Alonso Arroyo (Spain), Reimer Jellema (Netherlands) and Henri Piquet (France). (Information: Rodolphe Duterme.
