Under fremragende ledelse af Roman Herzog blev der konstruktivt og åbent holdt møde med deltagelse af nationale og europæiske parlamentarikere. Ngo'er, arbejdsmarkedets parter og interesserede borgere var ikke udenfor, men følte derimod, at de blev inddraget og spurgt.
Under the excellent chairmanship of Roman Herzog, the convention held open and constructive meetings, involving national and European parliamentarians; non-governmental organisations, business and labour organisations and interested individuals were not sidelined but actually felt involved and knew that their opinions were valued.
