\nThe consultation on the commons and the broader social<\/a>, organised by European Alternatives in partnership with GAS<\/a>(Group for Social Action), transit.ro<\/a>and Critic Atac<\/a>, brought together representatives of social mobilisations and civil society organisations<\/strong> to debate\u00a0issues related to the commons<\/strong>\u00a0in Romania and the EU.\u00a0Participating organisations and speakers included, GLOC<\/a>\/The Working Group of Civil Society Organizations,\u00a0Eniko Vincze, Cristina Rat, GAP<\/a>(Gazeta de Arta Politica)\/ Political Art Gazette: Marius Tudor, Biblioteca Alternativ?<\/a>\/ Alternative Library: Veda Popovici\u00a0 , Biocoop\/Ecoruralis<\/a>(Ramona Dominicioiu), Alburnus Maior\u00a0<\/a>(Eugen David), Editura Tact (Andrei State), the Bezna Collective, Claca (Mihai Lukacs)<\/p>\n

Findings<\/strong>
\nTable discussions: issues to be debated and introduction to the key proposals<\/strong><\/p>\n

The proposals numbered below were elaborated through discussions using the World Caf\u00e9 methodology.\u00a0They reflect the opinions held by the majority of those who participated in the public consultation, even though their opinions and ideas often displayed a variety of positions. Some of the proposals were developed on several discussion tables, but for the sake of clarity, similar concerns have been merged together.\u00a0 If you wish to react to or comment on a proposal \u2013 or even suggest new ideas \u2013 please use the \u201ccomments\u201d box at the bottom of the page.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Discussions focussed on various examples of commons, such as land, water or knowledge, as well as on the importance of an educational system directed towards the commons. How communities can organise and cooperate around common goods and how commons can become a driving force for the Romanian social movements to federate was then debated in the second part of the meeting. <\/em><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Overcoming the fragmentation of the social movement<\/strong><\/p>\n

Social movements within Romania are divided and fail to defend together a common cause. There is a disconnection of the Romanian social from the broader European movement; Rosia Montana emerged as a gravitation centre for Romanians; it unified them also with other European movements that are gathered along the cornerstone of commons. Commons therefore emerge as a touching point for the social movements within Romania and across the country borders.<\/p>\n

Commons as a counter-narrative<\/strong><\/p>\n

In Romania commons are emerging so as to contract neoliberalism and capitalism.The European Charter of Commons may bring the Romanian social movement further. Yet, Romanian-origin commons shall be added.What are the commons: knowledge, health(care), culture, soil, energy, water, solar radiation, parks, life\u2026Perhaps come up with a common that will be accepted by TNCs so that they oppose less the whole commons concept?<\/p>\n

How to advocate Commons better in Romania?<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Agree on a set of Commons;
\n– Explore and apply best practices of Commons advocacy from other countries.
\n– Cooperate with non-Romanian movements: set up a platform through European Alternatives?<\/p>\n

– Legislative changes are difficult at the central state level. Therefore, gain the support of mayors and city\/municipal counters. Next step: mapping and contacting interested local actors in Romania<\/p>\n

\nThree proposals for the Citizens Manifesto on the European Commons<\/strong><\/div>\n

1. Cities and regions should be involved in the review of draft EU legislation on a wide range of aspects related to the\u00a0commons<\/strong>. They can also spread the message to their members and get more cities and regions to support the\u00a0commons. Like the Committee of Regions, URBACT, the Assembly of European Regions, City Mayors, REVES network of cities, that have consultative roles, cities and regions will contribute to the protection of\u00a0commons through different pieces of EU laws, particularly regulations and directives.<\/p>\n

2. Initiate a\u00a0European Citizens Initiative\u00a0on the\u00a0commons<\/strong>: this mechanism of direct participatory democracy enables the advocacy of legislation before the European Union institutions: the aim is for a directive or regulation on the\u00a0commons\u00a0to be eventually passed and enforced in the 28 Member States. Once approved by the European Commission as an admissible proposal (commons\u00a0are in conformity with EU\u2019s underlying principles and values), signatures will be collected around Europe and following European citizens mobilisation the European Parliament and the Council will vote on the legislation.<\/p>\n

3. Citizens should file a complaint about matters related to the\u00a0commons<\/strong>\u00a0(in legal terms referred to as \u201cservices of general economic interest\u201d) within the framework of EU legislation. Once the matter is referred to the EU Court by a national court or tribunal (initiating litigation through different member states\u2019 courts will be a useful advocacy strategy), the court, in accordance with article 267 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU will issue a binding judgement that interprets EU law and therefore the protection of the\u00a0commons\u00a0will be reiterated without, strictly speaking, enacting new piece of EU legislation.<\/p>\n
