The networking cocktail was organised by the Forum for the Automobile and Society together with the European Internet Foundation and the Financial Forum. The Parliamentary Fora are independent platforms bringing together major stakeholders to discuss topics related to mobility, the financial market and the internet. They do not advocate a specific point of view but rather aim at facilitating and promoting the exchange of information and of good practices.

Malcolm Harbour MEP opened the evening with a short introduction on the three fora  and welcomed Mr Barroso, President of the European Commission. Mr Barroso acnowledged the role of the parliamentary fora in bringing together stakeholders, engaging them in debate and reaching consensus.

Further speeches were delivered by leaders of the three fora: Martin Callanan MEP, Pilar del Castillo Vera MEP and Wolf Klintz MEP. They presented the organisations, their publications and the future events.

The networking cocktail was well attended by MEPs and stakeholders from the Brussels scene.
