As leaders of four political groups of the European Parliament \u2013 EPP, S&D, ALDE and Greens\/EFA \u2013 we met today for the second time since the European Parliament elections.<\/p>\n
We agreed on a political process aimed at defining a common ambition for the next legislative period. This will provide the basis on which we expect the upcoming President of the European Commission to commit in order to enjoy a broad and stable majority in the European Parliament.<\/p>\n
The work is planned to\u00a0start on the 12th\u00a0of June\u00a0and to be completed in time for the next European Council.<\/p>\n
We are strongly encouraged by the substantially increased number of our fellow citizens who took part in the elections. It is our common intent to engage constructively with each other, taking into account their demands for change, in order to demonstrate that the European Union can deliver for each and everyone.<\/p>\n
