  • Participants may formulate their recommendations for improvement individually or as a group.
  • They send their recommendations on the relevant part to citizensconvention@faef.eu within two weeks of that time slot.
  • The Board of FAEF evaluates the advice and, after approval, incorporates them within one week in a corrected text, shown on the website. 
  • After the improvements of the draft Federal Constitution, the Ratification Process follows. The final product, the improved Constitution, is submitted to the people of Europe for decision. This is the twelfth part of the process.
