Published by S. Mally, April 2011, Barcelona (Spain)

AFAEMME is registered as organisation acting as "interest representative" at Your Voice in Europe, the European Commission’s “single access point” to a wide variety of consultations, discussions and other tools which enable organisations to play an active role in the European policy-making process.

Your Voice in Europe has been set up in the context of the Interactive Policy Making initiative. The objective of IPM is to use modern technologies, particularly the Internet, to allow both Member State administrations and EU institutions to understand the needs of citizens and enterprises better. It is intended to assist policy development by allowing more rapid and targeted responses to emerging issues and problems, improving the assessment of the impact of policies (or the absence of them) and providing greater accountability to citizens.

This system has been put in place to facilitate the stakeholders' consultation process by the use of easy-to-use and straightforward online questionnaires, making it easier both for respondents to participate and for policy makers to analyze the results.
