Must see on The Euros
What did the EU actually do in 2009?

To counter the prejudice that Brussels-based EU officials merely twiddle their thumbs or issue “bent cucumber rules”, the European Commission has published a guide presenting the EU’s achievements for its citizens in 2009. Decisions taken at a European level have numerous consequences on our daily lives: the EU enforced cheaper phone calls across Europe and standardised chargers for mobile phones, it increases costumers’ rights for online shopping and it brought in new rules to cut down harmful pollutants from petrol or pesticides. Still not convinced? More examples can be found in the guide, which can be downloaded as PDF.

The Euros: four languages, one Europe!

To explain European politics in an understandable fashion – this is the goal of the Euros. Not only in English, the Euros equally exists in French, German and Italian so as to include as many Europeans as possible into debates and take up the broadest range of topics. Four editorial offices offer the latest news from Brussels and the member states, background reports and interviews. One click on the flags on the above right hand side is sufficient to immerse yourself in the European diversity of debates and languages! Contact us if you would like to join our team as an author or translator.

The Euroblogs: soon at... the Euros!

Soon, the Euros will launch “The Euroblogs”. A number of quality blogs for a Europe of quality. If you would like to know more about our blogs mail to contact@eurosduvillage.eu
