  • PRIORITIES of the POLISH PRESIDENCY Speech by Herman Van Rompuy President of the European Council to the TEPSA Conference at the College of Europe (Natolin Campus)
    EUROPEAN COUNCIL THE PRESIDENT EN Warsaw, 1 July 2011 EUCO 39/11 PRESSE 223 PR PCE 14 PRIORITIES OF THE POLISH PRESIDENCY Speech by Herman Van Rompuy President of the European Council to the TEPSA Conference at the College of Europe (Natolin Campus) It is a great pleasure to address this timely conference on the state of European Union affairs and the Polish Presidency in particular. I am glad to have this opportunity to visit Natolin and I should like to thank for you the invitation. Last year, I spoke also at the College of Europe, but in Bruges. Having one Institute with two campuses in two countries is a great example of European cross border cooperation! And it is a pleasure to see so many students again today, from Warsaw, from Lodz and beyond! I am aware that it is a longstanding custom of TEPSA to have biannual meetings on current EU priorities, linked in particular to the (incoming) Council Presidency. A rich tradition! You will not be surprised, though, that my perspective on the six-month timeframe is different. As permanent President of the European Council, it could not be otherwise! Although I should nuance the word "permanent": it is for a term of 2,5 years… My job is to bring an increased sense of continuity to the Union's work at the level of Heads of State and Government. As you know, the European Council does not exercise legislative functions, like the Council which Poland will chair. The European Council, bringing the Union’s highest executive leaders around the table, is more like a strategy body.

SUTCLIFFE [email protected] University of Windsor ABSTRACT. This article examines the causes and consequences of Euroskepticism through a study of the United Kingdom Independence Party. Based on an analysis of UKIP’s election campaigns, policies and performance, the article examines the roots of UKIP and its, potential, consequences for the British political system. The article argues that UKIP provides an example of Euroskepticism as the “politics of oppo- sition.” The party remains at the fringes of the political system and its leadership is prepared to use misrepresentation and populist rhetoric in an attempt to secure sup- port.

    College of Europe and EUI to offer Joint Master Programme Two-year Master in European and Transnational Affairs is at the heart of updated framework agreement between the College of Europe (CoE) and the European University Institute (EUI). The two longest-serving centres of excellence in European studies have substantially overhauled their framework agreement, aiming at much closer academic and administrative cooperation. The new agreement was signed by EUI President Renaud DEHOUSSE and College of Europe Rector Jörg MONAR at a ceremony in Brussels today, attended by Tibor NAVRACSICS, European Commissioner for Education, Culture, Youth and Sport. A joint master programme that combines the strengths of the two institutions is at the heart of the new agreement. The Joint Master Programme in European and Transnational Affairs, or ETNA programme, provides analytical insights and practical skills to understand how public policy is designed between states, international governmental organisations, and non-state actors. The programme, which should welcome its first students in 2021-2022, will enable young leaders to solve the challenges of our societies today as well as tomorrow. CoE Rector Jörg MONAR commented: “This agreement marks a significant further step for the cooperation of the College of Europe and the European University Institute. With the offer of this highly innovative joint two-year Master programme we intend to enable well qualified students to help states and societies to better respond to the numerous and increasing transnational challenges of our times.” EUI President Renaud DEHOUSSE said: “Combining our strengths, the European University Institute and the College of Europe aim at attracting tomorrow’s leaders.

  • The European Union Approach to Disinformation and Misinformation the Case of the 2019 European Parliament Elections
    University of Strasbourg European Master’s Degree in Human Rights and Democratisation A.Y. 2018/2019 The European Union approach to disinformation and misinformation The case of the 2019 European Parliament elections Author: Shari Hinds Supervisor: Dr Florence Benoit- Rohmer Abstract In the last years, the phenomenon of so called “fake news” on social media has become more and more discussed, in particular after the 2016 US elections. The thesis examines how the European Union is approaching “fake news” on social media, taking the 2019 European Parliament elections as a case study. This research favours the words “disinformation” and “misinformation”, over “fake news”. It, firstly, explores the different way of spreading disinformation and misinformation and how this can affect our human rights. This thesis will, secondly, focus on the different approaches, remedies and solutions to false information, outlining their limits, in order to recommend to the European Union, the best policies to tackle the phenomenon. The research will, thirdly, focuses on how the European Institutions are currently approaching this issue on social media and the steps that have been taken to protect European citizens from disinformation and misinformation; at this purpose the relevant European policy documents will be analysed. This analysis is necessary to understand the ground of the EU elections. The thesis will conclude with the case study of 2019 European Parliament elections. It will find if there have been cases of disinformation on social media and if the actions taken by the European Union have been enough to protect the second largest elections in the world. Key words: fake news, disinformation, misinformation, co-regulation, Russian disinformation campaigns, European Union, 2019 European Parliament elections.

  • European Commissioner Johannes Hahn in Charge Of
    P R E S S R E L E A S E 20th April, 2021 European Union EUR 4.75 billion bond issue due 22nd April, 2036 The European Union (“EU”), rated AAA/AAA/Aaa/AA/AAA by DBRS, Fitch, Moody’s, S&P and SCOPE (positive outlook for S&P, stable for the other rating agencies), today issued a EUR 4.75 billion benchmark bond due in April 2036. The proceeds of this funding operation will be used to refinance the EU bond due 4th June 2021, which funded two EFSM loans to Portugal and Ireland. The 15-year benchmark deal was well received in the capital markets, having amassed over EUR 41.5 billion of demand, the largest book size to-date for an EFSM-related transaction executed by the EU. The deal’s success is testament to the wide-spread support from the international investor community for the EU’s mission and funding programme. The 15-year bond was priced at minus 7 basis points versus mid-swaps, which is equivalent to 24.8 basis points over the 0% Bund due May 2036 and 6.6 basis points inside the 1.25% OAT due May 2036. The final new issue premium has been estimated at 2 basis points. The Joint Lead Managers were Crédit Agricole CIB, DekaBank, J.P. Morgan and UniCredit. European Commissioner Johannes Hahn in charge of Budget and Administration said: “The strong demand and good pricing conditions obtained following today’s transaction are yet another confirmation for the strong interest in EU borrowing. This gives us confidence ahead of the forthcoming start of the borrowing to finance the recovery with our NextGenerationEU instrument.” Execution highlights: The EU sent a Request for Proposal (RfP) to banks on 8th April 2021 and informed the market about the RfP.
