@starlinguk @EU_Commission I bet this was written by someone whose first language is German or Dutch. 🤓  @EU_Commission 🤔 hmmm... @EU_Commission A rather banal survey. Great banknotes also have great designs and inspire through that. Think of the Swiss ones. Or the old Dutch Guilder ones. The current EU banknotes are bland and boring. Design by committee. And this somehow affects people’s perception of the institutions too. @EU_Commission est ce que vous pensez que nous sommes complètement cons ? (Je veux choisir la fiscalité appliquée aux plus hautes revenus pas le dessin sur du papier-monnaie !)  Euh...vous vous trompez d'adresse. La fiscalité directe reste une compétence exclusive des États membres. Même pour des mesures secondaires d'harmonisation la Commission n'a pas le pouvoir de décision, c'est toujours les gouvernements. @EU_Commission art is great but is bound to leave some countries unrepresented. But i feel like body parts like hands or mouths would just look ugly. Then again what does my opinion matter when i barely use cash @EU_Commission Hey ! This is propaganda : I am European and I'm fully aware that UE is the realm of the biggest bunch that exploited their fellow humans to get rich. If we want to better ourselves we should begin by recognizing the wrongdoings of UE : anti-labour practice, autoritarism (Napoléon, Mussolini, Hitler), colonialism, slave trade, colonisation, ongoing genocides of foreign first nations (wayana people in Guyana), ecocides by greed ... and remind it on banknotes. @EU_Commission I want a 5 € banknotes about the death of the economical and war refugees that die by the thousands trying to better their life joining UE. @EU_Commission I want a 10€ banknote with a castle of wealthy in the middle, slums around, and walls looking like Sauron's realm while random bunches are slaughtered at the borders. UE is experiencing growing social inequalities triggered by UE directives. UE should be PROUD of bringing us back to feudalism and not pretending to be about freedom of the masses. @EU_Commission @EU_Commission I want a 1000€ bill that remind that such banknotes are an intended vehicle for easing money laundering, tax evasion, corruptions with an inspirational quote like « in fraud we trust ». @LaFoulqueDuVexin @EU_Commission Ah, yes, who could forget European Council President Napoleon and Transport Commissioner Mussolini. Seriously though, why are the most "lunaires" responses to this coming from French accounts? I know French media is one of the worst in Europe for EU coverage, but what do they teach you in school about what the EU is and isn't, what powers it has and who runs it (our national governments) etc. ?? 😬 @EU_Commission I want images of wildfires and people freezing in winter, to remind politicians they must do better to fight climate change! @EU_Commission other countries have already done the bird thing, it's pretty but unoriginal. My two proposals: 1. European values: embodied by women like #SophieScholl #MargaKlompé #SimoneVeil #SofiaCorradi (Bit odd that for all the publicity you guys get out of #Erasmus you almost never mention the woman who created it against fierce opposition from member states governments who were and continue to be The Worst...) Proposal 2: #Natura2000/LIFE Programme I'm not saying we'd have THE cutest banknote on the planet by putting the rescued-thanks-to-the-EU #IberianLynx on our 20s, but... @EU_Commission @EU_Commission it’s quite funny that the survey should be about including all the eu citizens in the decision process, supposedly every country matters but in the end, where I was supposed to pick my country, I was not able to find it. There were only like 10-15 countries to choose from and the option "Other EU country" which is honestly a bit insulting. @EU_Commission I am a big fan of the EU, I really liked this survey as well the ideas for the new Euro bank notes, however, I was really disappointed in the end where I couldn’t pick my country as if it doesn’t matter. I am a bit worried that when the new bank notes are designed, their design will supposedly represent Europe as a whole but actually will focus only on a handful of countries and people in the rest of Europe find it disheartening and disappointing @EU_Commission I was meh about most of these until I got to the birds. Birds!!! I hope if this wins, the 500 euro banknote features the bird most common in all European capitals: the humble pigeon. You can call it a dove for marketing purposes.  @juliette same here ! I was like “this is OK” “this might work” and then “yay birds !” I felt like any of the other options were really inclusive to all of Europe anyway @juliette @EU_Commission Yes! Include their messed up feet with twisted/missing digits, for authenticity. I'm anti-birdeuros, but this could sway me. |

@EU_Commission What do you want your money to look like or how do you want your money to look. PS do you need any editors for your social media accounts? 😉
