The Panel is a special occasion

in which the European Commission

involves the European citizens

to understand the functioning

of the policymaking

and to have suggestions to do

a better Europe for everyone.

I think the most important things

are the innovative things,

the things of tomorrow,

especially in the relation with technology.

For example: infrastructure,

which can be understood

by many different ways.

It's not only roads and railways.

It can also be,

for example, IT,

the digitalisation of the European Union.

I think the area to focus on

should be the environment, personally.

Out of all the options,

I feel it’s the most important

although, given the time of year

and the global situation,

security is also a key issue.

At the moment, perhaps the most important topic

for me, especially as a Finn,

is general security and defence policy.

For me, it's armament, defence.

That is to say, it's topical, right?

So right now, that's all people are talking about.

And I agree with a lot of things.

We had, like, these really

harmonious conversations and,

I think our group didn't have

a lot of disagreements.

And in the end,

I did change my mind a bit,

because I realised

most people prioritise education.

In that sense,

I think it was a powerful union,

a truly great initiative,

because together we are stronger.

If we can all make our voices count,

and help one another,

I think that’s foundamental.

I was fortunate enough to be able

to participate in this European Panel,

and I found it very,

very enriching.

What I hope to see

in the following years,

I think it's just change,

just taking into consideration

what the people want.
