In the run up to the 2019 European elections the Political Strategies Committee seeks to develop a project to examine political parties‘ plans for archaeology and heritage protection. Following examples by German DGUF, this would include creating a short-list of the most urgent concerns („Wahlprüfsteine“) in the field of archaeology and heritage protection on European level with the help from EAA committees and partner organisations. After the Round Table, the European Parliamentary parties would be requested to give statements on this list of questions thus setting themselves bench marks. These statements of intent will be commented on, summarized and widely published by us to allow those interested in archaeology and heritage to make well-informed choices in the coming European Elections.
