The EFAy participated in the European Youth Forum’s (EYF) Council of Members (COMEM) meeting in Barcelona, Catalunya on 2-3 May 2008 in their capacity as Observer Members of the EYF.

EYF representatives from youth organisations from across Europe are invited to attend the bi annual COMEM meetings and are opportunity to discuss issues relating to the work of youth organisations at a European level. One of the main issues that the EFAy was interested in was the delay by the European Commission on the decision to allocate administrative grants to organisations. Like many other European youth organisations, the EFAy is still awaiting a response from the Commission to ascertain if a new EFAy coordinator can be employed for the next year. A decision is now expected sometime this month.

Thomas Leys, who is the EFAy COMEM representative, took part in the meeting.
