Charles Michel
Council Speaker -
The European Liberal Democrats have had no members for several months, far longer than fourteen days, and are in any case unable to recruit any new members due to this lack. They also no longer have a chairman, or for that matter anyone who could elect a chairman, and this too has been a situation that has lasted far longer than fourteen days.
The European Liberal Democrats are thus officially dissolved as a Eurogroup.
*[Correction: It does not appear as though the ELSS has registered any illegal members]
The European Progressive Alliance and Party of the European Left currently have illegally registered a number of individuals and organizations as associate members. These groups are ordered to expel individuals with associate membership which do not fall under the categories which the European Political Groups Act allows to become associate members within thirty days or risk litigation in the European Court of Justice.

Designated Chairman:James Mizrachi-Roscoe
Summary of ideological or political aims:Pro-Europe grouping pushing for more EU harmonisation and cooperation on areas of trade , consumer protections , security, movement of people among other areas while respecting countries different cultures and social values.
Any additional information: -
More Europe's application will not be considered until it has designated a chairman, as per European law.
Councillor Mizrachi-Roscoe is also still a member of the ELSS, and would thus be unable to join the group More Europe; upon founding, it would thus immediately have only one member, and thus be given fourteen days to find another lest it be dissolved.
Iras Tilkanas
Council Speaker -
I have as of today left the Eurogroup ELSS which I feel no longer meets or suits the full goals of my plans for legislation going forward. I wish to set up the new Eurogroup to advocate for more harmonisation on many areas of legisliation while protecting nations rights to set their own social laws without interference outside of basic human rights.
James Mizrachi Roscoe , Councillour for United Duchies
-
In spite of my many misgivings regarding Council political groups, the application for More Europe is approved. The group has until the 18th of July, 2023, to hold a majority vote on its system of internal decision making.
Iras Tilkanas
Council Speaker -
The ELSS has been reduced to one member; I ask Chairman Lionel Morel to find at least one new member for it, as is required by law, by 00:32 GMT on 4 July 2023, and warn him that his group will be dissolved if it does not.
Iras Tilkanas
