Amendment No. 7 | Doc. 12955 | 26 June 2012
The crisis of democracy and the role of the State in today’s Europe
Committee on Social Affairs, Health and Sustainable Development
In the draft resolution, after paragraph 5, insert the following paragraph:
"In order to win back the confidence of their citizens, states must meet challenges now confronting them. Such include diminished trust in representative democratic bodies and political parties, the movement of millions of people within the continent, or from outside it into Europe, the inability of the nation state to deal with certain problems beyond its control, as well as increased extremism across Europe, an issue already examined by the Parliamentary Assembly in its Resolution 1754 (2010) on the "Fight against extremism: achievements, deficiencies and failures."
