G700 is one of 37 European organisations, associations and individual citizens, to have been selected by the European Parliament as winners
of the first ever European Citizen’s Prize, the CIVI EUROPAEO PRAEMIUM for 2008 (Official Journal of the Europan Union (2009/C 108/02).
G700 was nominated by the PASOK European Parliament group in December 2008 for actively promoting Intergenerational Solidarity and Young persons' Rights in Greece and the EU. The selection for the CIVI EUROPAEO PRAEMIUM of 2008 was done by an EP Committee made up by the European Parliament’s President, Hans-Gert POTTERING, the Vice Presidents Mechtild ROTHE, Diana WALLIS, Gerard ONESTA and Alejo VIDAL-QUADRAS, and the former Presidents Nicole FONTAINE, Josep BORRELL and Pat COX, as well as Nina NORGAARD from EUNET organisation.

According to the EP the European Citizens' Prize can be given for activities that either facilitate cross-border
cooperation within the EU or promote better mutual understanding and closer
integration between citizens and member states. It can also be awarded for
day-to-day activities reflecting the values enshrined in the EU's charter of
fundamental rights.
Both our nonimantion for the first ever European Citizen's prize and the award itself has been a great honour to our “Net-root” organisation. More importantly it is
encouraging for our actions and initiatives concerning the promotion of intergenerational
justice in Greece and Europe in cooperation with organisations like 50plusHellas and Age Platform. In April’s celebrations for the first European day on Intergenerational
Solidarity, we once again raised the issue that generational justice, the just
balancing of relations among generations in crucial fields like the pensions
system, the labour market, fiscal management, the environment and public goods,
is a fundamental pillar of social justice and as such as fundamental
precondition for achieving sustainable policies in Europe. Furthermore, dealing
successfully with the Precariat, the new dangerous class made up primarily of
young people who are socially and economically marginalised, means dealing with
the generational issue. We sincerely hope that today’s Award will be the continuation
of a pan-european effort that has just only begun to take shape.
