I AM WORKING ON A NEW AND  MULTI-LINGUAL WEBSITE 

Welcome, Welkom,

It is an honor to represent the European people in the European Parliament for D66, a Dutch liberal party, which is a member of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats of Europe.

My work focuses on a number of key issues, determined by my committee assignments. In the committee on Foreign Affairs I work on Europe's position in the world to become more significant, through advancing human rights, free speech and democratization. I work on transatlantic relations and neighborhood policy on the US Delegation and the Delegation with the Balkans. To speak credibly on the world stage, we need to continue to work on democratization, transparency and accountability within Europe and in our own institutions.

An ambitious knowledge economy: education, new media and a single digital market as well as liberalism for the next generation of Europeans are my priorities in the committee for Culture, Media, Education, Youth and Sports.

In addition I am the founder of an Intergroup on New Media, in which Members of the European Parliament come together to discuss developments in new media in an interdisciplinary way (more information to follow).   

For agenda's, documents and live streams of the Parliament in all European languages look here. 

It is an honor to represent and work with Europeans: you. I am always open to your ideas, questions and suggestions, please email them to Dit e-mailadres is beschermd tegen spambots. U heeft JavaScript nodig om het te kunnen zien.
