ROME, 2013-10-11 01:27 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Mario Monti has agreed to serve as Chairman of the Council for the Future of
Europe (CFE), a non-partisan, policy and advocacy group, working on
constructive political solutions for Europe.
The CFE, which is organized by the Berggruen Institute on Governance, is
composed of leaders from across Europe including Gerhard Schroder, Felipe
Gonzalez, Tony Blair, Romano Prodi, Jacques Delors, Guy Verhofstadt, Doris
Leuthard, Otmar Issing, Niall Ferguson and Nouriel Roubini, among others. The
Council has built its reputation advocating for solutions to youth
unemployment, empowerment of financial institutions, and a stronger political
union.
Monti joined the Council in 2011 at the invitation of Nicolas Berggruen, the
founder of the Berggruen Institute on Governance and original Chairman of the
Council. He remained in close contact with the Council throughout his tenure as
Prime Minister of Italy, a role he was appointed to in November 2011 by
President Giorgio Napolitano in the midst of Italy's economic and financial
crisis.
'We are extremely pleased that Mario has agreed to chair the Council,' said
Nicolas Berggruen. 'His breadth of experience and distinguished reputation will
no doubt enhance the impact we can have on issues of importance to the future
of the continent. With his leadership, we intend to draw into this
action-oriented debate more diverse and younger voices, including stakeholders
who often feel extraneous to the process of European integration or frustrated
by its outcomes.'
Prior to courageously undertaking the leadership of Italy during its hour of
need, Monti had a direct role in the governance of the EU, first as
Commissioner for the Internal Market, Financial Services and Tax Policy
(1995-99), then as Commissioner for Competition (1999-2004). He is currently
President of Bocconi University and a Senator for life.
