Call for Proposals: "Transatlantic Civil society Dialogues EU-USA: Transatlantic Consumer Dialogue"

Deadline for submission: 21 January 2013

Background information

This Call for Proposals is published under the 2012 Annual Action Programme of the European Union for the Industrialised Countries Instrument (ICI), budget line 19.05.01 of the European Commission, in which an amount of EUR 600 000 is earmarked for the support of the Transatlantic Civil Society Dialogues. The Industrialised Countries Instrument (ICI) promotes cooperation with 17 industrialised and other high-income countries and territories in North America, the Asia-Pacific region and the Gulf region referred to in Annex I of the Regulation (EU) No. 1338/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Council Regulation (EC) No. 1934/2006 establishing a financing instrument for cooperation with industrialised and other high income countries.
Based on Article 212 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, the ICI contributes to fostering the EU’s relations with countries and territories which often share similar values, are major political and trading partners, and play an active role in multilateral fora and in global governance. This Call for Proposals is designed to implement one of the three priorities of the ICI, namely people-to-people links. Its main goals are to enhance mutual understanding between cultures and to facilitate the exchange of knowledge on issues of mutual interest for the EU and the US. To this end, it promotes dialogues at the level of civil society.

Objectives and themes of the call

The European Commission is seeking to strengthen dialogues between members of EU and US civil society by addressing a wide range of issues and encouraging the involvement of a broad set of stakeholders. These dialogues complement the formal policy dialogue at government level.

The European Commission invites herewith proposals to stimulate dialogue and cooperation between non-governmental organisations and interest groups, including social partners, representing wide constituencies in the EU and the US.  Through this specific call the European Commission wishes to support the continuation and strengthening of the transatlantic Consumer Dialogue.
