In view of the upcoming Polish, Danish, and Cypriot Presidencies – which will run from July 2011 to December 2012 – the EPC has participated alongside 15 other European think tanks to the latest edition of the Think-Global Act European (TGAE) report in analysing the role of the future Trio Presidency. Each of the more than 50 chapters takes stock of the initiatives adopted during the past Trio Presidency, identifies emerging challenges, formulates concrete short- to medium-term proposals for policy-progress, and underlines the way in which the Trio interacts with other EU institutions. The EPC has contributed the following four chapters:
“Implementation of Europe 2020: Time to Act” by Fabian Zuleeg, EPC and Maria João Rodrigues, for EPC, pp.: 19-25.
“The EU and its Eastern Neighbourhood: Challenges of Engagement” by Rosa Balfour, EPC and Adam Balcer, demosEUROPA, pp.: 231-235.
“Making the EU’s Voice Heard Globally” by Janis A. Emmanouilidis, EPC and Paweł Świeboda, demosEUROPA, pp.: 258-263.
“The EP Electoral Reform: Another “Brick” in the Union’s Democratic Construction?” by Janis A. Emmanouilidis and Corina Stratulat, EPC, pp.: 367-373.
