This article is part of TGAE report published in March 2010.

In a context of institutional fatigue, the politicisation of European issues remains the principal way to attract the interest of citizens. The authors, however, state that politicisation should be done in a way that is faithful to the nature of European integration and identify where and how to promote the expression of a clearer “political opposition” in the EU.

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.
