The Paris presentation of the Forum’s recommendations has been the first in a series of meetings that will rotate during 2009 among participating capitals (Washington, Brussels, Prague, and Stockholm), both before and after the next EU-US summit in Washington, and in the context of the Czech and Swedish presidencies of the European Union.
The task force comprised of these six think tanks has presented a first round of policy recommendations, notably in four key areas. The first findings of the four thematic working groups are available:
