The plenary session was also attended by EU Commission Vice-president Dubravka Šuica and Ana Paula Zacarias, Secretary of State for European Affairs in Portugal, which currently holds the rotating presidency of the Council of the EU.

The meeting brought together 108 representatives of the European Parliament, 54 from the Council and three from the European Commission.

The discussions at this meeting focused on issues that citizens had contributed to the digital citizens' platform that the European Commission had previously launched for the Conference.
