Welcome to the Kangaroo Group

The Kangaroo Group is an association with the goal to enhance European Unity around the pursuit of concrete common projects. Its main goals are the full implementation of the Internal Market, the Stability of the Euro and a common Security and Defence Policy. The association started in 1979 as an informal gathering of Members of the European Institutions from different countries and political affiliations interested in breaking down the barriers between the Member States. The Kangaroo was chosen for the name of the group due to its ability to take big jumps over any boundaries although it only has a small pouch.

 

Today the Kangaroo Group is an association incorporated under Belgian law as a nonprofit organisation (aisbl). It has been entered into the Transparency Register of the European Union as a Think Tank. It is open to Representatives of the European Institutions, Academia, Media and the Business Community who are interested to foster these goals. It is not an Intergroup of the European Parliament. The motto of the Kangaroo Group is free movement and security. We choose our projects in consideration of the principle of subsidiarity.

„Improving Fire Safety in EU Homes – the Benefits of Brominated Flame Retardants“

 

The well-being and safety of its citizens is a priority of the European Union, yet fires cause over 5,000 deaths each year, and almost 10 times as many injuries.

 

With the creation of the Special EP Committee on the Housing Crisis in the European Union there is a possibility to better protect citizens in their homes. After all, there is no responsible housing policy without talking fire safety into account.

 

BSEF would like to take this opportunity to investigate improving fire safety in the EU and discuss the role of Flame Retardants in Making Every European Home Fire Safe.

 

Welcome and Chair:

Michael GAHLER, MEP, President of the Kangaroo Group

 

Speakers will be confirmed later
