The European Parliamentary Fora held a joint Cocktail Reception to welcome the new Members of the European Parliament. An exhibition was organised in conjunction with the event to present the activities of the Fora.

The Parliamentary Fora are independent platforms bringing together major stakeholders to discuss topics related to mobility, the financial market and the Internet. They do not advocate a specific point of view but rather aim at facilitating and promoting the exchange of information and of good practices.The Fora are leading the debate on the crucial issues which will be at the heart of the European legislative agenda as well as on new topics which are just starting to emerge.
