Written declarations: the concept
A written declaration is a text of a maximum of 200 words on a matter falling within the European Union’s sphere of activities.
Written declarations are printed in all the official languages, distributed and entered in a register.
MEPs can use written declarations to launch or relaunch a debate on a subject that comes within the EU’s remit.
