the germanifesto - Thursday 18 November

So country slightly north of Germany and south of Norway. It seems you are all talk. We

waited patiently through the night for retaliation or some kind of reaction since your fi rst let-

ter. Clearly you are no match for our superior wit and our knowledge of fi ne Chilean wine.

We are now proud to announce the arrival of the third issue of the germanifesto and the

third edition of our award winning supplement, the megazine. We have literally slaved

through the night to bring you this, surviving the invading hoard of the chairs, who saw fi t

to seize our pressroom for resolution writing. How rude! Anyone would think that interna-

tional teams of young people had worked tirelessly to produce some kind of resolution to a

problem? And that as such, it should take precedence over the inane ramblings of sleep (and

sheep) depraved geniuses.

We, at the germanifesto, fi rmly believe that the lifestyle supplement is the handbook to life

that you have all been waiting for. We delve into the dark places that other supplements fear

to go and expose the netherregions of fashion dos and don’ts. Remember you are what you

wear. In which case we are a two-day old tee-shirts whose stench is only masked by haute

couture jumper.

So until next time – may the faff be with you.

Panel Session


by herr Prince charming and the Baron

You’ve just fi nished you’re resoul-

tion; you’re tired, you drained and

you’re desperately in need of schnit-

zel... you would not think that you’d

be in the mood for a 3 hour Panel

session but you would have been

wrong. What seemed like it could

have been long, tedious and uninter-

esting proved to be lively, original

and stimulating.

Beautiful surroundings, delightful

food (including of course Coca-cola)

and a star Panel, that could top any

Britney Spears or Robbie Williams

concert, made this evening special.

The team of speakers that we had the

pleasure of listening to had interest-

ing, strong and diverse views on the

evenings topic – “Common identity

– common will?”

Kemal Dervis was one of them, he

started his career as an Economics

undergraduate in 1969 and moved

on to receive a PhD in Econom-

ics in Princeton University in 1973

before lecturing in the Department

of Economics in the Middle Eastern

Technical University. Several years

passed and his economic career

moved from strength to strength

until he was named Vice-President

of the World Bank in 1996. After

adapting to several banking roles Mr

Dervis became Turkish Minister for

Economic Affairs and he is now a

Member of the Turkish Parliament.

In the debate Mr. Dervis highlighted

his views on the subject of the

integration of Turkey into the EU

and sighted the example of the fact

that before the European Cup fi nal

when a survey was taken in Istan-

bul it was found that the majority

of people wanted Greece to win, he

asserted that times have moved on

and that past devisions are becom-

ing less evident. Bernd Hüttemann

is Secretary General of the European

Movement Germany, previously he

was research associate at the Institut

für Europäische Politik in Berlin.

Mr. Hutteman presented his views

and policies in a manner that was

effi cient, German and beautifully

alliterated- the three F’s… football,

food and freedom. He felt that rather

than using the propaganda machine

to help integration that people should

sit wagging their tongues, playing

with balls and shoving schnitzel in

their mouths.

Dr. Ulrike Guerot is director of

foreign policy and a former Head of

the European Union Section at the

German Council on Foreign Relai-

tons. She sought to share her view

of a common vision while making

it clear that nothing is clear-cut in

Europe. Although she was presented

with the question of the UK and the

possibilty of the unifi ed EU failing

due to the UK’s departure from, she

responded decisively by assuring the

delegate that this will never, ever,

ever happen. Ever.

Dr. Klaus Scharioth is the State

Secretary of the Federal Foreign Of-

fi ce and his input into the debate was

both enthusiastic and informative.

He felt that an additional European

Identity is emerging but he also

says that, “this enlargement does

not mean that we have to forego the

deepening of integration”. He also

made the valid point that we need an

emotional investment… people need

to be proud to be part of a Europe

and support each other.

We commend Dr Ulrike Guerot on

her poise under pressure. When the

demeanor of the delegates escalated

to something like an angry mob, it

seemed the panel was being forced

to answer for confl ict in Kosovo,

violence in Chechnya, dispute in

Cyprus, and the AIDS virus. Several

delegates have a very personal con-

nection to these issues, and allowed

their passion to make them forget

where they were and what they were

doing. What should have been a fo-

rum on the unity and peaceful future

of Europe, became a sounding board

for peoples pains and division. Our

esteemed guests were visibly shaken,

but Dr Ulrike Guerot was not stirred.

In spite of the intimidation before

her, she expressed her dissapoint-

ment in the pessimism in the room,

pointing out that the positive slant

was being neglected; rather than

asking when the hurting ends, why

don’t we ask when the peace begins?

Everyone, including those who had

been passive throughout the discus-

sion gave Dr Ulrike Guerot several

rounds of applause, deservedly so.

The whole night, although somewhat

passionate was a great success.

Energy

Laboratory work

10:01 I arrive at the laboratory, a room

with glass walls, and start gathering

information on my subjects inside. The

executive chief of the experiment is

there with me.

10:02 Room is completely re-organised

with distinct groups sitting around three

tables.

***A MEMORY GAP***

10:45 I enter the room and am wel-

comed with friendly smiles. I learn that

the three distinct groups are the three

E’s (Energy, Environment, Economy),

allowing discussion from different per-

spectives. I am impressed.

11:00 Coffee break, but the committee is

just continuing with discussion.

11:13 My third cup of coffee.

11:14 I enter the room and see Joao

(POR) writing a table.

11:16 Blerim (MKD) lying on the fl oor,

eating a pear and playing with a stick.

11:17 Jolien(BEL) singing and wander-

ing around the laboratory.

11:19 Antoine asking for a pink high-

lighter.

11:21 I notice nonsense on the board.

11:23 Antoine receives a pink pen.

11:26 Blerim and Jolien fi ghting.

11:27 Antoine gathering people into

a circle on the fl oor. An unidentifi ed

woman passes by the laboratory.

11:29 Blerim and Jolien playing with a

stick

11:31 To Antoine with love from the

committee: “Can you guide us?”, “Can

you write the resolution for us?”

11:40 Group on Energy encounters the

biomass problem.

11:45 Jakob (AUT) playing with lid of

coke bottle.

11:46 Nicholas (CHE) drinking coke.

11:47 Antoine delivering cookies.

11:48 Group on Energy puzzled by

hydrogen.

11:49 Me trying to strangle myself with

a scarf to see the reaction of the commit-

tee, but they simply keep on working.

11:51 Antoine colouring Energy-fl ower-

power-fl ag in pink, like an excitable

child.

11:52 Antoine recalling his childhood.

12:01 I hear Jakob saying: “Fear is there

to make you alive.” Nicholas adds:

“Yeah,

but it

can

also

kill

you.”

12:02

Eva

ably and looking at her cookie with

pleasure.

12:12 Antoine browsing through the

schedule.

12:13 I hear Jakob saying: “Accidents

are special cases.”

12:15 Laptop running out of battery.

12:16 Group on Economy encounters

the biomass problem.

12:16 Delegates pestering Antoine about

biomass. Antoine remains silent.

12:20 Jakob explaining biomass.

12:23 An intruder, the aforementioned

woman enters the room, asking for An-

toine (she didn’t obviously read the sign

“Authorized personnel only”).

12:24 The woman, apparently a journal-

ist, asking the committee to gather in a

circle again for a picture in a magazine

(those journalists...).

Cristina (RUS) discussing Environment-

type issues.

12:26 Blerim licking his lips.

12:27 I experienced a fl ash back of the

glorious victory in the monster race, and

a fl ash back of the horrendous accident

when Chernobyl loses his tail.

12:35 Nicholas trying to see what I am

typing.

12:40 Eva, Lucija (CRO), Nicholas and

Jakob shocked by the inescapability of

death.

12:41 Ncholas taking a sip of coke.

12:43 Hydrogen a problem for Econo-

12:53 Jolien sticks her tongue out at

Blerim.

12:54 Antoine fi nishes colouring in the

12:55 Blerim

expected

to donate

his stick for

communal

purposes (i.e.

the fl ag).

13:32 A dis-

cussion about

Santa Claus

(yes, we do

still believe in

him).

13:36 Blerim

making me

say that cows

drink milk.

13:37 to 13:47 Maria debriefi ng the

history and the current socio-political

situation in Cyprus.

13:38 Blerim fi lming his feet.

13:38 Jolien singing.

13:39 Joao fi lming his feet!

13:50 Jacob has a theory about me: I

must be one of Santa Claus’ elf helpers.

13:55 Blerim doing acrobatics.

13:56 Jakob looking like he is about to

do acrobatics.

At this point I have to leave...

When I return, discussion is in full

swing. I am trying not to bother them

and to look innocent. The committee has

charts and tables and graphs and data

and many ideas. Time is of the essence

but the group is functioning, though

biomass is still plaguing the committee.

Antoine gives a lesson in grammar to

the committee, with three magic words:

what is

energy?

I hear

whis-

pers of

a coffee

break...

After-

math:

Peux-

tu me

des

cours

de

langue?

Finally,

the

com-

mittee

dinner.

While

we gathering, we learn that Jakob has

become ill and is not joining us. Blerim

is eagarly asking Damien some good

opening lines to win the French girls’

hearts. It evokes a conversation be-

tween some committee members. The

restaurant is not far away from the train

station. It turns out it is a Spanish res-

taurant, Lafi l, and luckily we have Eva

to translate the menu for people with

inadequate skills in Spanish or German.

After everyone receives their bebibas,

we toast to our spectaculous committee.

Dinner is great, even though there is

some confusion over the orders. Eoghan

(IRE) and Lucija are exchanging meals.

The discussions around me vary from

the Irish language to Spanish songs. We

are enjoying ourselves.

After dinner, P.O. Adrian is kind enough

to lead us past the Mudd Club in the

rain. Cheers.

Foreign Affairs 2 - International Trade

The Dark Tuesdayby Mausal

What do you do when the whole work of the previous day - the

whole creative, amazing, bulky brainstorming - has been thrown in

the bin by a well-meaning cleaning lady?

What do you do when you realise that it’s no longer in any of the

bins in the building, but is already on its way to Berlin’s recycling

centre?

What do you do when you are overcome with anger and panic and

sadness and feel that you really, really just “want to talk with the

cleaning lady and ask her how she’s been”?

The answer is simple- you go to the Committee of Foreign Affairs

II and you see how magically problems like these can be solved.

You learn and you praise them.

Have you ever heard about the legend of the phoenix?

If not, then I’m going to tell you about that.

And if you have, then I’m still going to tell you about it.

The phoenix is a beautiful bird. It is born like any other creature,

grows, develops, gets smarter, learns the ways of life and then it

burns and dies. However- from the ashes, it is reborn and becomes

more beautiful than ever before. That’s exactly what happened

today with my dear committee. They were burned by the fl ames of

misfortune, but they got over it together, growing even stronger and

more wonderful.

So by the time I got to committee work, they had put their heads

together and all the brainstorming ideas had been retrieved. They

had come up with a new system of grouping the ideas while search-

ing through their brains for the lost information. I was so amazed by

this productivity and effi ciency after such a destructive incident.

Anyway, from what I saw, this is a very lively committee, with most

of the people being extra active and passionate talkers - especially

Mateusz (POL), Jurate (LTU) and Dimitri (GRE), balanced by guys

like Lorenz (CHE), for example.

Though these discussions were rather heated, this committee

doesn’t have any problems listening to each other. Another thing

that I love about this committee is their honesty. If someone asks

e.g. “do you feel fi ne with that? “ then they can also answer “no”

and through discussing the reasons, they make their way for the

kind of methods, that everyone feels comfortable with. There are

also people in this committee like Verena (DEU) and Litos (POR),

who take care of the mental life of the group- without actually need-

ing a chair to debrief them anymore...

Another interesting thing they introduced today was the feedback

board on the wall, where everyone can leave an honest message to

someone. It was one of the sweetest things I had ever seen and you

want to know why? This message in there weren’t fake: they came

from the minds of the delegates.

I was so proud of them and just when I thought things couldn’t get

any better, it did...

The guys of the committee had prepared a little surprise to the girls

projected to the wall of the room. It was so wonderful and breath

taking, that I can not really put it in words, however I did manage

to take a photo of it and I hope, that it makes you see exactly how

special this really was.

A, Taking into consideration that thirteen students from different countries have come up

with a resolution by Thursday,

B. Notifying with concern that due to a variety of EYP parties, certain mood changes

within the committee room might occur and result in sleeping, snoring or angry delis,

C. Deeply concerned about the decision making to sent the IT committee to a rather “un-

pleasant” restaurant,

D. Alarmed by the fact that that specifi c delegates try to invent random theories regarding

the widely known and famous “Pointing Game”,

E. Recognising that certain people do not like to appear on photographs,

1. Hopes that the ITs will have two great GA days with a revolutionary resolution;

2. Encourages the need for more non-bavarian food (Klöße or Gulasch);

3. Suggests that you have to “listen very carefully and guess whoever it is”;

4. Calls for the immediate clarifi cation regarding this important matter and eventually seek

the assistance of Northern Ireland delis.

the germanifesto - Thursday 18November

EMA - Security & Defence

Walk the walk of rock and rollBy Schweizer Katze

Let’s start with a fact – the usage of beer in Germany

in the last ten years has decreased. But it’s not like that

concerns us, because none of us are Germans and we

carry our national pride with honour.

The sun was shining, the weather was fi nally sweet and

nothing could stop us from having a nice picnic in the

committee room. It really looked like cool around be-

cause of the variety of foods we had, the drinks, the nice

green carpet that if you improvised a bit, could be taken

as grass, a nice view outside, the nice sun shining inside

and the best company, of course. Everybody felt so

comfortable, that sitting on the chairs seemed a bit inap-

propriate, so some of us were chilling on the nice green

imaginary grass, some others, like Patric (FIN) on the

other hand chose to take a nap. And I still haven’t found

an appropriate word for describing the atmosphere. It’s

over and over positive, whatever it’s called, it doesn’t

feel like working when we’re spending time together.

At one, two three o’clock, four o’clock we rocked, at

fi ve, six seven o’clock, eight o’clock we rocked again,

and so we went on rocking until the midnight. But rock-

ing may not always be easy to do, so, to say the truth,

we did face some problems today. Our opinions differed

about different subjects and discussion made us feel

even more tired. But of course even in moments like

that we stayed optimistic and couldn’t do it without a

dose of humour and sarcasm. One of the variants why

the tiredness had come upon us that suddenly was that

the food had been poisoned, but it might probably be

more because that we didn’t have enough. However, it

just strengthened us as a team and once again we made

sure that our resolution will be the very best compromise

and our solutions will be the ones worth voting for. I

couldn’t possibly fi nd a way how to help my committee

with this, so that these kinds of discussions would still

keep us calm and be taken as an exchange of opinions,

not an actual problem. That is exactly why I asked for

a little help of my cat. At fi rst he said that he knows the

solution for my question, but added that he needs time

to think. We agreed to meet in a few hours and share our

ideas together. So we did, and here are the conclusions

we made:

Then suddenly the clouds parted, the light shined into

the room of ours and magic touched us. We went crazy,

started jumping around, screaming and shouting (I’m

not sure if the neighbours committee actually noticed

that). I got a bit nervous, and what I do in situations like

these – I start running, but they probably got scared that

I would run away, so they started chasing me down the

stairs. Nothing stood in our way, and if anything or any-

one were around, they got brutally knocked down (even

when doing that they worked as a team). Then suddenly,

when I was already about to jump into a cab, they all

stopped and started chasing each other. I still haven’t got

the point of it – either it was because they understood

that I’m too fast for them or because of that being a bad

energizing joke played on me, but oh well. I didn’t want

to spend the money on the cab, so I decided to join them

playing (over then I believed it was a game). Confused,

but still full of energy and willing to spend time with

them I joined them. After a while of running around, and

destroying all the bad emotions inside we were ready to

return back and continue our rock’n’rolling with cookies

and some coffee.

Today was not just sitting in a room for nearly 10 hours

and discussing tiring politics. Today was all about

spending time with my friends and having a nice chat

with them. How can you possibly ever get tired of that?

BE SUPPORTIVE GO WITH THE FLOW

Security and Defence - When

the going gets tough…By Bobby Schinen

II’ve always thought that Committee Work is

much like taking the U-Bahn in Berlin, you know where you want to end up but the

journey there is horribly unclear. Everything you come across appears to be in a for-

eign language (for most of us, it is!) and there seem so many routes to take, the choice

is made even harder. You may want to go to Michendorf but end up in Greifswalder

Straße instead (take a look on the map, it’s frickin’ far).

The gems from Security and Defence may well have shared my view on this when

beginning the second day of Committee Work, mind you, when you’ve got 39,759

contentious topics to discuss in just fi ve hours, even taking the U-Bahn seems like a

walk in the park.

It’s safe to say that this day was tough on the delegates, I really felt for them. At times

they looked as though they were in the depths of frustration, (particularly at the point

when Chair Lukas (CZE) asked “What are we actually debating at the moment?”) and

at others, it was as though they were in another country entirely.

Now this article may seem rather bleak and therefore inappropriate for this publication,

but I really wanted to write an article that refl ected the diffi culties these guys faced.

Because it was how they got themselves out of this mess that impressed me the most.

Security and Defence came so far in a just a day, even farther than the distance be-

tween Michendorf and Greifswalder Straße. They developed a creative way to com-

municate using sign language, they respected each other’s opinions and ideas no matter

how far they were from their own. They injected some much needed humour into their

discussions when the atmosphere was particularly

heavy. They supported each other and listened to each

other as each precious hour went by. I’m not sure if

they realised it, but they really were working as a truly

effective team. Granted, it took at while to arrive at

being that team, they may have taken a few wrong

trains on the way and they may have got off at the wrong stop a few times but they

made it, in the end.

Seriousness aside, they may have eventually found a way to work well, but they did

some serious maxxi-faffi ng* in the process, which in my opinion is no bad thing. So,

in aid of their stupendous levels of maxxi-faffi ng I’ve included a little jingle written by

an old Chair of mine (carpenters make them really clever these days). It’s for when the

going is getting tough and the maxxi-faffi ng is über maxxi.

To be sung to the tune of, ‘A little less conversation’, Elvis Presley.

“A little less conversation,

A little more action please,

All this maxxi-faffi ng

Aint satisfactioning me. “

*Maxxi-faff:

The art of constructively doing nothing whilst appearing to be doing… nothing.

the germanifesto - Thursday18 November

Legal Affairs

The fi nal stages of Committee Work are al-

ways expected to be the hardest and the most

infuritatingly tight for time, so why is it then

that The Committee on Legal Affairs were

fi nished writing their resolution suspiciously

early? It began to make me wonder, per-

haps they’re not all they seem to be. I know

they’re all dazzlingly intelligent and funny

but I began to question…is there something

they aren’t telling me, are they even more tal-

ented than even their devoted Journo thought

they were? Suspecting my committee were

hiding something huge from me, possibly

masterminding a huge conspiracy, I sat back

and began to speculate, and here’s what I

came up with:

Exclusive: Legal Affairs Possess superpow-

ers!!

The Committee on Legal Affairs has been

scandalously exposed as having incredible

super powers. The Germanifesto was tipped

off in the early hours of yesterday morning.

The delegates are in the police station an-

swering questions as I type. Mwah ha ha ha

ha!!!! Some details about the superpowers of

each member were leaked in the process

Marta- She secretly has the power to call the

lift in the youth hostel whenever she likes-

she can communicate with the lift on several

levels (see what I did there?!).

Sarah has the über super power of possessing

the ability to make people fall truly, madly

deeply in love with her instantly. All she has

to do to implement this power is say ARRRR

very loudly in a silly accent to her subject.

That must mean every member of Legal Af-

fairs is in love with Sarah. Lucky for some.

Kiliane can become invisble at any time she

likes, night or day, opening up the potential

for lots of crazy capers and tricks on the

unsuspecting public.

Ott Harri can survive without sleep for up

to ten days. Just long enough to survive a

session.

Thomas has a super expandable secret limb

that is invisible. So, he can tickle you from

far away using his extra extendable limb and

you’d never know that was him. Genius.

Hakan can communicate telepathically with

sheep, they can talk about anything from

politics to the price of petrol. Hakan has

several scheep friends, incidentally, they’re

going out this Friday.

Chris can take the shape of any famous per-

son he so wishes, always useful at exclusive,

celebrity events. Chris’ particular favourtie

shape is incidentally…David Hasselhof!!!

But he’d better not transform too near the

pressroom or there’ll be crazy, sleep-deprived

journos running after him.

Ester has the enviable power of being

able to turn any meal into another

one that she’d like more. So she can

change her schnitzel into Sweet and

Sour Pork if she fancies, or her banana

into banoffee pie– the lists are endless.

Martin can instantly understand for-

eign underground maps knowing in an

instant which platform he should be

on. Große useful!

Laura has the ability to take the shape

of a scheep…watch out for Hakan

then, there could be some interesting

conversations there!

Albina can make anyone agree with her and

take her side on nay argument she wants.

Malin can write amusing, clever, interesting

and grammtically correct articles at approxi-

mately 34 every minute. Malin, watch out

your back my friend, the journo’s may do

something out of sleep deprived jealousy.

Franziska has the most mysterious power

of all…so mysterious we have no idea what

it is. All we know is it involves smoked

Latvian cheese, a scheep and a super extend-

able tongue. The mind boggles.

Thomas has the ability to sing really well, but

there’s just one thing, he sounds like Britney

Spears. Word on the street is he’s buying his

fi rst ‘Britney Spears’ outfi t this week.

Linda can become a brunette if she wiggles

her nose and turns around 4 times. Linda,

can you tell us who as more fun, blondes or

brunettes?

Dedicated to the Committee on all things ARRR!

L is for Living Latvian Linda who is never without a smile,

E is for Ester, the boys she does beguile.

G is for the guys, all super in their own special way,

A is for ‘ARRR!’, we used it more day by day.

L is for Laura, the baby of the group,

A is for Albina, our petite Croatian who hates frankfurter soup!

F is for Franziska, our lovely serene Swiss,

F is also for friends, of whom we all shall miss.

A is for ambition, of which this team has a lot

I is for fi ery chair Irene – she’s hot, hot, hot!

R is for ‘remember’, for Sarah and Kiliane, whom I could never forget.

S is for ‘stop’, I’ll have to before we all get upset.

Committee ConspiraciesBy Bobby Schinen

Agriculture - Future

Volume 2: It’s all in the genes said a little a whit sheep one day Die Beerlinische Bradwurst (die BB)!

No more frog song, no more clichés in the Committee on Agriculture allowed!

We are sheep and Jill is our shepherd!

Me-e, be-e, said a little white sheep one day!

It’s all in the genes!

If you happy and you know it make a sheep!

That’s it! We are not going to be boring unresponsive Committee on Ordinary low-

brows. We will change the world with genetically (un)modifi ed food, we will shout

over the rooftops of the world – no need for greed or hunger, we will be fond of

Norwegian tobacco, brand new updates for if-you-know it-and- you- happy, because

the era of sheep is ready to expose itself to the day light, the era, that going to change

the mentality and of the forthcoming offspring of EYP juveniles and not only.

But let’s start from the very beginning! We got the obvious addiction to the most

probably genetically (un)modifi ed chewing tobacco products being provided by

Christian (NOR), who equipped us fully with the material and prepared to spread

the usage guide to the zippily keen committee fellows, especially girls as a matter of

fact. But the effect before and after wasn’t early predictable. The three easily – infl u-

enced heroes willing to try new “EYP trends” appeared to be Martin (CZR), Nikkolas

(GER), and Erik (EST) who occupied the bathroom for a while for an undisputable

mysterious reason (D. Hasselhoff will fi gure it out anyway!)…Of course the easiest

way to explain such a helter-skelter behaviour is the omnipotent charming committee

(go, go) girls’ powers, but somehow discovering them more and more I’ve real-

ised that even the hot-sunny-shinny-sheepy-sexy lad(ie)s couldn’t overwhelm

the obvious affection between the gentlemenish fervour for each other. The

fi rst symptom was noticed in the early morning while

playing the “Pass the mandarin” thingy, which

was obviously helping to keep the atmos-

phere hot particularly for some of you!

The fi nal point grounding the prejudice

was revealed by the fi rst complete round

of “Honey tell me that you love me!”

Absolutely straight – forward was

Connor (GBR), who found out the

new way how to resist a guy in

no time!” Honey I love you but

I have no mouth” was the last

drop that made the whole com-

mittee laugh. The attorneys

of the female sex Alessandra

(ITA), Emer (IRL), Car-

rina (AUT) used their eternal

weapon of eye contact and soft

voices to reach their goals.

Discussing, food, stuff, faffi ng, Schnizel, David Hasselhoff, phrasing, grouping, eco-

system, hunger, contamination…

The challenge of the day by Jill the Sheepy Shepherd (Chair, LTV):

To invent the new lyrics in groups for the all times best “If you happy and you know

it clap your hands!”

You cannot imagine, what kind of things you can do when being happy, or tired, or

ugly or whatever! The imagination of the fellow delegates is go-as-you please! Few

examples just in case:

If you ugly and you know it hide your face! (top tips by the be-males of the commit-

tee)

If you happy and you know it use your hands (Just don’t let them get tired)

If you sober and you know it get a beer (mit Beerlinische Bradwurst)

If you tired and you know it go to sleep (usually not working in the EYP)…..

If you happy and you know it make a sheep (Try if you can!)

Plus several versions you might get to know after paying the

personal visit.

That was it; see you in the committee dinner!

AAAAA-grii-cultureee!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for splendid

day!

The great adventures of Mr./Mrs. Agri Culture!

Well I was only in the committee room for 5 minutes on Wednesday. The life of

a journo is not easy; you can’t have a complete beauty sleep, a bubble bath and

breakfast in burger king, and still be expected to arrive before 4 o’clock. The

point is, you cannot possibly write about a day you did not witness, unless of

course, you are me. So let me tell you how Jenny was jumping on top of Salik,

then Vlad spent half an hour under the table with Maria Lucia (ITA), of course

Fergus (IRE) and Chris (AUT) settled the whole Katherine (BEL) dispute by

seeing who had more inches under the belt. Anastasia did her usual thing….you

know, that thing she does and our lovely chair posed for several photos with a

schnitzel (or maybe it was an apple) in her mouth . Everyone was doing some

stuff for x amount of time, and at some point the resolutions were completed.

Bravo. I love you guys.

the germanifesto - Thursday18 November

Future - Secuirty and Defence - Civil Liberties

Boys (and girls), fasten your seatbelts

and be prepared to experience some-

thing extremely exciting, I’m about to

introduce to you the hottest commit-

tee at this session. Ready?

First let’s defi ne hot…no need baby

just look at them! It’s MORE than

enough.With a majority of beautiful

and smart women (which is a very

rare combination) this committee is in

the top hot list of EYP.

Let’s start with the cutest chair- the

beloved Pamela, leading this lovely

and predominantly girlie committee.

Then we come to the turn of the fash-

ion icons in the committee - Antoi-

netta (ITA), Maria (CYP) and Corina

(NDL) always in prime positions.

Sweet faces like Sophia(DEU), Scilia

(NOR) and Camilla(DNK) can make

your day just by giving you a smile.

Belgian cutie Dorothea is

open for a long and pleas-

ant conversation and Linda

(FIN) is always ready to respond.

Estonian chick Klairi is so sunny and

gorgeous that makes you forget all the

cloudy things happened to you during

the day.

Talented Claudia can always get you

interested in the extraordinary pieces

of art she creates.

Nia (BGH) is so energetic; she’s al-

ways ready to write, to talk, to dance

(as you will see from the next pages

of the paper). Luscious Stephanie

(FRA) is as active in the committee as

she is out there in the disco.

All this abundance of beauties makes

the boys of Social Affairs Two very

happy indeed.

Beauties! Watch by Pocahontas

I came a little bit late for change. So I

found my seat quickly and took a look

around me. The sun was shining as if we

weren’t in Berlin at the end of November,

the view from the window was beautiful

and the rose on the table smelt wonder-

fully. I was just enjoying this illuminated

room fi lled with strain and cool guys from

the Committee on Employment and Social

Affairs I. I was just wondering why it

was that all the people simply seemed so

relaxed to me and then I noticed an empty

package from 400g Cadbury Dairy Milk

and things became a little bit clearer.

Although I really like Committee on

Employment and Social Affairs I, there is

still one thing I don’t really understand and

scares me a little bit. As I was examining

the sun-lit room, suddenly I spotted IT. IT

was written on the board. I didn’t under-

stand IT, but IT sounded suspicious to me.

I am not even sure whether I am allowed to

write IT into the newspaper.

But as I had been really in favour with this

committee before, I decided I wouldn’t

condemn them yet. With the permit ion of

Heili (EST, chair) I decided to challenge

their qualities with a very special game

called Palermo City (also known as Mafi a)

and I found out that most of the committee

is really trustworthy, for example the doc-

tor Ivan (CZE) didn’t ever use the oppor-

tunity to save his own life, but always used

the right of saving life on somebody else’s

one. The majority of these people are OK,

but as usual an exception proves the rule.

The conclusion? Never trust Sander (EST).

Watch out – especially at nights - he can

kill in cold blood, accuse someone else and

execute him/her – pretending he himself

is just an innocent citizen taking care of

safety in the streets of Palermo City. His

reasons for executing, on the other hand,

use to be irrefutable. Ann Sophie (FRA)

was for example too silent, Eoife (IRE)

was wearing black and Mateusz was sim-

ply from Poland. Gentleman, isn’t he?

I have experienced something special in the

evening wit this committee – the dinner)

the restaurant was Italian, the food deli-

cious and Ashild (NOR) funny. I am not

pretty sure what was she talking about, I

have just noticed she was saying something

about bigger bra, bigger boobies…that

would be OK – this is an usual wish of the

most of the girls, but why was she talking

also about bigger bear…? That is yet to be

found out.

ECKI ECKI ECKI SUM SUM FOI...?

by Donaudampfschifffahrtsgesellschaftskapitän

CALIFORNIA!By Zeit-1874

After waking up, I was facing a series

of groundshaking questions – “where

am I?”, “why am I sleeping in the mid-

dle of the room with no clothes on?“,

“do people living on the North Pole

have to pay for electricity?” and “how

to get to the place where we are having

committee work in?” Waking up after

an EYP night is nothing compared to

travelling alone from the Youth Hos-

tel to the Ludwig Erhard. There are a

number of problems. To name a few

of them – everything is in German;

random locals are looking for the op-

portunity to attack/rob/abuse you; lack

of vision in your left eye caused by last

nights adventures. Anyway, a lot of

effort on my behalf was put into fi nding

an answer to the question, so naturally,

when I got to the committee room, I

had no problem listening to you solve

a small problem like how to save the

environment.

Because this is EYP - a very infl uen-

cial organization, it is no wonder that

delegations from all over europe are

present, forming groups of specialists.

The Pubic Hair committee is no dif-

ferent. Let me introduce it’s wonderful

essence:

Oksana – a specialist on sizes of trees.

Billy a.k.a the Human Dictionary – a

specialist on moats.

Dimitris – leader of the Green Task

Force.

Bara – the manager of the ecosystem.

Maria – director of the nature-related

movie “Confusion”.

Marco – leading scientist on the topic

of the greenhouse effect.

Radka – tree/soil expert.

Stephanie – chairman of the sick trees

and fl oods committee.

Maddy – christmas tree specialist.

Bjarne – forest repairman.

Krista – bird photographer.

Elias – president of the Industry Con-

trol Foundation.

Marin – citizen of the Environmental-

friendly Croatia.

Samuel – senior member of the Path-

fi nders Club.

Felix – executive director of the We-

Have-the-Recources Inc.

The reason for these professionals

gathering in Berlin – environment.

Since it is proven that eating and

drinking will create user-friendly sur-

roundings for bonding, naturally the

most important thing on agenda was

committee dinner, which turned out to

be quite productive. The main subject

being a product that is on the start of

it dictatorship – sheep-cheese. While

Billy and Maddy, supported by Felix

and Stephanie enlightened us in terms

of the different ways of using sheep,

the Mediterranean representatives ac-

companied by Sam and Marin decided

that the topic at hand was not in need of

their expertise, so instead of joining in

on the discussion, they felt free to make

horrifi c noises and through that take

on the goal of emptying the restaurant.

Silently they also had the support of the

People in Between, because they were

forming an alliance against the power

of the Restaurant People. The dinner,

however, ended without a major blood-

shed in terms of setting the place on fi re

and going at each-other with wooden

plates.

Oh, well. Let’s hope the General As-

sembly will compensate.

EYP German - Unit 4:

Pick Up Lines

Civil Lib-

erties Will

Rock YouBy Pochahontoas

The Committee on Civil Liber-

ties started their ‘resolution

writing adventure’ by building

up a well-structured, consist-

ent plan in order to create their

resolution. Each of them had the

patience to listen to and consider

each other’s opinions.

They made sure discussions were

always relevant to their topic, not

wasting time with vagueness.

The committee has a very in-

telligent and delicate way of

disagreeing with each other and

everyone was feeling comfortable

in sharing his\her opinion.

Gery(SLO) can be very infl uen-

tial, putting his argument across

eloquently and constructively.

Xavier (FRA) and Hugo (NDL)

take care to maintain the peace,

carefully following the rules of

patience and tolerance estab-

lished by the committee.

Karin (EST) always focuses on

the most essential facts and

keeps the discussion fl uent

and consistent.

Marina (ROM) and Silvia

(IT) prefer to go with the

discussion fl ow deciding to

stay quiet, to stay out of the

fi ery dispute between Jasmina

(MAC) (the-never-ending-gig-

gle) and Gery (SLO)(watch

out ladies!). Despite all their

misunderstandings they still

managed to keep a polite tone

by addressing each other with

“my friend”.

That also applies to Peter (GBR)

who tried to settle things down

between his fellow delegates. Ana

(DEU) also exchanged opinions

with Jasmina and Nathan (IRL).

Simon (CHE) was happy to have

female attention from each side

of him.

After having done a great job,

the committee played a game of

“suck and blow” which everyone

enjoyed especially Angela(ESP)

and Irene(BLR), (as well as the

journo J )

The committee dinner made one

Journo very happy indeed. The

restaurant couldn’t have been

nicer, the food couldn’t have

been tastier and as you can see,

neither could SpongeBob.

I’d like to congratulate Civil

Liberties for working so well to-

gether. Despite their differences

and contrasting ideas, their work

was very productive.

Despite the complex-

ity of their task, their

passion for resolving

problems and their

never ending enthu-

siasm for argument

and agreement will

be sure to make their

resolution one of the

best.

Quarter fi nalsby The Baron

TThere are only 3 nights left, the tension

is building, we have reached that stage

where any tactical errors mean you have

to stroke your bench watching on the

sidelines (like Tillmann).

Two delegates are pushing each other

hard at the top, Aidan (GBR) and Flor-

ence (BEL). But their dominance is

being challenged by Patrick (FIN) who

is engaged in some hot action with a

man from the UK who likes to be called

Oscar in the heat of the moment.

Staying with the UK, one of their del-

egates, Chris, is engaged in some ‘head

to head’ action and has enlisted Ester

(ESP) to keep him coming.

Norway’s performance has been ab-

solutely dismal, one sad delegate has

been shooting blanks, scoring a big

ZERO with the Belgians, Bulgarians and

Croatians.

Going into the knock-out stages, the Bul-

garians have the highest scoring poten-

tial, but the Dutch and the Czechs could

come hard from behind.

We hope to see big things during the next

few nights, if everyone pulls together we

can go out with a big bang.

Foreign Affairs 1 - Employment I

Sleep is for The Weak!

I was trailing my legs upon the stair, because

the elevator was “besetzt” - for change. I was

dreaming of my soft, warm, comfortable bed

as I was crawling through the fi rst fl oor, but

the higher I crept, the less choosey I was and

when I got to the sixth fl oor (of course that

both of ‘my’ committees have their committee

rooms in the sixth = last fl oor) I was thinking

of cuddle up in the corner, underneath the table

and have a bit of rest during the committee

work, but then I reached the door of Commit-

tee on Foreign Affairs I, on which was a sign

saying “Sleeping is for weak!”. I felt betrayed.

I wanted to enter the room angrily, but the pro-

gramme was changed. We were supposed to

play games together with Committee on Em-

ployment and Social Affairs I and with Com-

mittee on Economy and Monetary Affairs.

Heili (SocAff, EST, chair) prepared a game

‘Maradzha….” (At least it sounded a little

bit like this) and then after boosting us with

‘Funky chicken’ she released us into our own

committees. I noticed a slight improvement – I

got back to my level of tiredness from the fi rst

fl oor – so I kept my dreams of my soft, com-

fortable and warm bed and opened The Door.

The fi rst thing I saw was Ola (POL)

sitting in the circle with the sweater turned

inside out. This could mean many things…we,

in the Czech Republic have a superstition

that a sweater inside-out means somebody is

in love with you…concerning the fact I saw

her boyfriend Mateusz (POL) this morning, I

could agree with this. The meaning could also

be a little more prosaic – maybe somebody

was simply too tired. Or – third and most prob-

able theory = her boyfriend is in love with her

and was simply too tired in the morning.

Unfortunately I could spend only a

little time with this cool group of great peo-

ple, but even in spite of the lack of time I’ve

noticed few surprising facts – I know that our

taste differed one from each other, so I should

not be surprised when Svetlana (RUS) said

that she likes Russian President Putin – but

she likes him because she fi nds him attractive!

Everybody, clap your hands!

DDDDDDex god David Hasselhoff gives adv

Dear David,

I’m sharing a room with two very noisy Portu-

guese guys, which means that I haven’t slept at all

from the day we got here. Please help me, ‘cause

I’m getting tired and am scared I’ll fall asleep at

dinner.

Annonymous non-Portugese delegate from room

306.

Dear Delegate,

Since Ian and Andrew are working all night long

on the next issue of the paper, you are welcome

to come and share a room with me. Or actually,

even better, you could join our “Who sleeps the

least during the session” competition, win, and get

a 2 month contract in Baywatch.

Dear Mr Hasslehof

I’m particularly bothered by the enourmous amount of food

we’re getting, especially the lunch packages during Com-

mittee Work.

Do I really need to eat all of it, or would it be fi ne if we just

shared one bag of food for the whole committee? I’m just

too full and I’m begeinning to worry how to keep fi t with

all these calories.

Fitness conscious delegate.

Dear Delegate,

I do sympathasise with your problem, I must admit it is

a rather serious one. During fi lming in Baywatch I had a

similar issue. However I do believe that it’s possible to fi nd

a solution, for example the obvious answer is to work out

to my ‘Hasselhoff Endurnace Fitness Test’ video, avialiable

at any reputable video retailer. Or, you can take the leftow-

ers of your lunch packages to the hungry journos.

My dearest David,

David, I’m your number one fan, I think you’re utterly amazing. I have every episode of Baywatch and Knight Rider on video

and I watch them repeatedly. I can’t sleep at night for thinking about you. I want to be like you. I want to know just how you

manage to hold your life buoy so sexily. David what’s your secret?

Lusty fan

Dear Fan,

Well, I get a lot of letters like yours and it breaks my heart to hear you so restless about me. I have many many secrets on how I

look so good, most of which I can’t divulge. However, often fans fi nd using my ‘Hasselhof Endurance Fitness test’ video very

useful, available from any reputable video retaileer, it works wonders. Also,a great lack of sleep is great for the skin.

Hope this helps.
