<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I welcome very much your contact on this
matter and I appreciate your willingness to engage so when I make some statements
which are very direct it is not my intention to offend you. It is simply that
the time for plain speaking is here. I’m copying this to the individual
members list, Maite, and two key individuals who in the past have worked with
me on the EL in the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">UK</st1:place></st1:country-region>
because this is a collective conversation, and I would want others to make
their comments to you also.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Firstly I understand the difficulty of
achieving consensus amongst the parties of the Executive Board (EB).
Individual members have patiently discussed this over many years, including at
the Prague Congress with Helmut Scholz when we agreed not run a candidate for
election to the EB to force the matter, in exchange for resolution in the
longer term. We feel very let down by the lack of action since then. I know
Helmut has been supportive, but it is my opinion some Parties which do not want
individual member representation believe they can permanently delay this. They
need to know there are now individual members discussing taking the EL to the European
Courts if this can not be resolved, the EL cannot legally accept individual
members, take membership subscriptions and refuse to provide a representative
structure.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Since 2004, after I had spoken to Helmut
Ettinger in <st1:State w:st="on">Berlin</st1:State> at my own initiative and expense,
I returned to the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">UK</st1:place></st1:country-region>
and gathered many supporters for the EL. Over the next few years I did this
not once but twice. It was like rolling a snowball down a hill. It became
bigger and bigger. Martin Herberg (who would give me information) advised who
had actually joined and I followed up. I organised comrades to put together an
EL UK website, again not once but twice. To get momentum, as people were
interested in how the EL could develop left politics in this country, we asked
for a UK ‘European Left Network’ to be given observer status under
the Statute. Not once but twice, nothing happened. Building something has
several stages. Twice with the EL we got past the early stage of development and
waited for the Party to give ‘official’ status to be able to
develop to the next stage. The first time, when the ‘observer’
status did not come things fell apart. We built it up again, a second time the
Party did not act, and the same thing happened, it fell apart. We now only
have a small number of <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">UK</st1:place></st1:country-region>
individual members across the country. EL is irrelevant to <st1:country-region
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">UK</st1:place></st1:country-region> politics.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I am a trade union organiser. I work for
a Union which is non-party political and I have a public face for that Union,
so I have had to do my Left work as a personal project hoping the observer
status as a Network would have given us the opportunity to ‘officially’
launch EL more broadly and even run in elections. Again I have done this kind
of thing before in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Australia</st1:place></st1:country-region>
as a backroom operator,getting public faces elected to a local council and
running a City.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Why without observer status, not once but
twice, did everything started fading away? Because most people, especially
those who can be the public face, will not come forward if you have no ‘official’
status. I feel enormously let down by the EL. We wanted observer status for
the ‘European Left Network’ in the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">UK</st1:place></st1:country-region> which the EB could have easily
passed. They did it for <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Italy</st1:place></st1:country-region>
but not us. Why? I think because the Italian Party wanted it and the EB only listens
to parties.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Largely at my own expense but latterly
with some support of the party I have attended Trade Union Networks, Summer
Schools, the Founding, 2<sup>nd</sup> and 3<sup>rd </sup> Congresses to promote
individual membership. Each time I have had to wear a badge marked ‘guest’,
I was not allowed to speak in Rome, I fought for the right to do so in Prague,
and eventually I was allowed to again in Paris, but each time after an
argument. When I knew the PCF were a problem, I went to <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Paris</st1:place></st1:City>, again at my own expense and met with
Jean Francois Gau. He has no support for individual members, but said he didn’t
mind about the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">UK</st1:place></st1:country-region>.
But again nothing happened. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>As I have pointed out within EL forums the
number of times nothing has happened in relation to individual membership the
reaction has become more and more dismissive and if I get a response at all it leaves
me with the feeling I am some kind of unreasonable fanatic. The Party talks about
being open and being a networking party, but in the case of individual
membership I have found it to be closed and not sincere.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>The only reason I have kept going when as
Maite pointed out I am ‘free and can elect’ to do something else is
because I have met some excellent people amongst the individual members,
amongst the trade union network and even amongst party members. I support the
programme and policies of the EL and I want to be able to advance EL ideas in
my personal time outside my paid trade union work. Why does the Party make
this almost impossible when it says it wants to facilitate such activity? Does it
really want to develop and grow or is that simply lip service to an ideal and
in reality it is a limited Party of parties? If that is the truth then the EB
should simply state that and then I can stop wasting my time.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>One positive thing the Party has done is
to set up the individual member email forum. We can talk to each other but to be
honest we talk rarely because there’s nothing to talk about as we have no
way of developing work inside the EL because there is no official structure.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>The conclusion I and others have drawn is
now that we want ‘official’ status within the Party for a European
wide individual member network, Branch, Section, Friendship circle, we don’t
care what it is called. We want the Party to make available, as it does with
the ELfem and the trade union network, a budget for perhaps two meetings a year
to enable us to come together to talk about how we can develop individual
members. We would like delegate to Congress so we are not ‘guests’
anymore, and a seat on the EB.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

something can be done.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

getting already in contact with me. Maite had asked me to “help” in
the communication about the problems regarding individual membership in the EL.
I trust you are wll aware (as a long time member) that this question has been
existing since the very existence of the EL – and still going on of
course. I am in the secretariat of the EL “responsible2 for the liaison
with the statute commission (the coordinator is Jiri Hudiceck) from the SDS. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

thing we have to do together is to take stock. What is the current situation
– statutewise and where can we start to act on the basis of the existing
regulations. I think if we look carefully at them, there is still space for the
individual members to have more say in the politics of the EL. You will
know it anyway, but just to bring the fact to your attendance again. Any
changes – statutes or programme – of the EL can only be achieved
via unanimous decisions, which is very hard. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Maite Mola,<br>
<br>
before the last EL EX-Board meeting in early October I sent a letter to
Pierre Laurant (using his PCF mail account) which was discussed between the
individual members using our mail list and at the end signed by eight of us
from different countries. The letter deals with the problem of our formal
rights within the EL, reflecting our situation and making proposals how to deal
with in the near future. As of today there is neither a reply nor a
confirmation of receipt and so we sent the same letter to Giorgios
Karatsioubanis within the EL office in <st1:City w:st="on">Brussels</st1:City>
asking him to distribute the letter to all parties of the European Left and to
discuss this issue on the next meeting in <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Berlin</st1:place></st1:State>.<br>
<br>
We asked at the same time to include within the upcoming budget for
the year 2012 an amount of money for a meeting which should be organized
to discuss between us the way out of this situation and to organize
our work within the EL.<br>
<br>
<br>
Giorgios Karatsioubanis asked me to resent this letter to you as coordinator of
the EL Executive Board. I hope you will support our request indipendently from
the question would you be personaly in favour or not of the individual
membership.<br>
<br>
Thank's for that.<br>
<br>
Warm regards<br>
<br>
Norbert Hagemann<br>
