The report was also used as a topic for debate for the 2010 edition of the European Think Tank Forum, organised by Notre Europe in Barcelona, on September 30th and October 1st, 2010. The 2010 forum was organised in conjunction with the Secretariat for the European Union of the Catalan governement, the CIDOB, Aspen Institute France, Agence Europe, and members of the European Policy Institute Network (EPIN).

While the Greek financial crisis put the question of European solidarity at the centre of all debates, the 2010 edition of the forum took place under the theme: “European Solidarity: Where do we stand? Should we foster it and how?”

The Contribution of 14 European Think Tanks to the Spanish, Belgian and Hungarian Trio Presidency of the European Union

Study by Elvire Fabry, Gaëtane Ricard-Nihoul | 04/03/2010

With the establishment of the permanent European Council presidency and the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, the role of rotating presidencies has changed. This will have an impact on the role of the Trio Presidency in future. Does the rotating presidency still matter? In this new edition of Think Global - Act European (TGAE), launched by Notre Europe, 14 Europeans think tanks answer that question by scrutinizing the 18-month agenda of the Spanish, Belgian and Hungarian Trio Presidency. For each specific issue (structural reform, economic governance, energy, climate change, migration, internal security, global governance, foreign policy defence, enlargement, neighbourhood, EU institutions, European political space and budget) they analyse the global context, existing challenges and put forward concrete proposals concerning key initiatives that can be taken by the Trio Presidency during this period. In the sensitive context of the Lisbon Treaty implementation and complex management of the economic crisis, specific attention is given to the decisive coordination role that can be played by the Trio Presidency in defining more efficient - more integrated - European strategies.
