Europe, the right framework

The signatories stress that in recent years "several European national communities have had similar challenges". They therefore consider that "there is an opportunity for several European nations with territorial debates and stateless nations to cooperate within the European institutions, to promote common approaches, to agree on shared positions and to defend the need for a 'Law of Clarity' at European level as a tool for resolving democratic debates on self-determination within the European Union".
