With the arrival of a new American administration, and on the eve of important personnel changes in the European political community (European Commission and Parliament), six European and American think tanks initiated a Transatlantic Forum in 2007, assembling about thirty researchers and high-level experts to propose paths to a new partnership between the European Union and the United States.

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:

This first Transatlantic Policy Forum in Paris is made possible thanks to the support of The Institute of European Democrats in Brussels and also European Commission Délégation in Washington which support the project.

Coordination of the Project by Nadège Chambon.
