The author
Notre Europe
Notre Europe is an independent think tank devoted to European integration. Under the guidance of Jacques Delors, who created Notre Europe in 1996, the association aims to « think a united Europe. » Our ambition is to contribute to the current public debate by producing analyses and pertinent policy proposals that strive for a closer union of the peoples of Europe. We are equally devoted to promoting the active engagement of citizens and civil society in the process of community construction and the creation of a European public space.
In view
The contribution of European think tanks to the Spanish, Belgium and Hungarian Trio Presidency of European Union
| 10/01/2010
The work of European think tanks is increasingly seen as an essential contribution to the definition of the EU agenda. Its strength lies in the capacity of these organisations to develop synergies and intellectual stimulation among themselves. Notre Europe has therefore brought together 14 think tanks with the aim of presenting concrete recommendations concerning the different issues on the agenda of each trio of presidencies. p>This new edition of "Think Global - Act European", dedicated to the Spanish, Belgian and Hungarian Trio Presidency (and to appear in March 2010), pays special attention to the changing role of the rotating presidency and the trio themselves. This follows the arrival of the permanent President of the European Council and the Union's High Representative for foreign affairs and security policy.
