Who we are

We are the members of the Web Communications team of the European Parliament.  We write and publish the daily news about the Parliament you will find on the “Headlines” page of its website.  Because we do this in 22 languages simultaneously, we are a multinational group, with one editor per language, each writing in his or her mother tongue.

Extract: As social media in general, and Twitter in particular, have had growing utility among policy makers, I therefore set out to examine the role of Twitter and its use by members of Congress (MOCs) to determine who was using this medium and where, if at all, there was influence and clout among members.  Hence the white paper that I am publishing today - "Twongress - The Power of Twitter in Congress" - Download Twongress White Paper Final 1-14-10

New prospects for relations between the Court of Justice and national courts

Everyone knows the important role of the Court of Justice in the construction of a European legal space and with its preliminary rulings through which it guides the work of national courts when they are called upon to enforcement Community law. Over the decades, the dialogue between European and national courts has allowed not only to ensure a more faithful interpretation of Community Law but also the formation of one true common legal culture.

After all, what would it be the value of holders of fundamental rights without judges capable to secure their protection?
