Verhofstadt, Cohn-Bendit get European Leader award

Guy Verhofstadt and Daniel Cohn-Bendit won the European Leader Award on the 6 June 2013, after several weeks of online voting organised ahead of the State of the European Union forum.

Presenting the award, the chairman of the selection jury, Bernard Vergnes, noted that leadership is a complex and multifaceted concept. "We are looking here at someone that people would choose to follow, someone we all would like to play a greater European role in the future," he said.
