"Hi Esther.
Interesting post! I think that from a layperson point of view the main issue with the information around the EU is how boring EU journalism usually is. Bureaucratic terms and figures do not help the average reader make sense of the…"

Is European level…See More

In Brussels, they join forces in major groups, working and analysing European legislative drafts on specific themes like the environment, consumer protection, fight against racism, social action, development cooperation, etc…They produce reports and analysis. Are these to be taken at face value? Are they reliable as…See More
