Blogs of the European Representations
Belgium - Willy Hélin
You're in touch with the Representation of the Commission in Belgium. We are there to answer your questions. Of course, you can go to our website that keeps you posted with up-to-date info : www.eu4be.eu
Estonia - Euroblog
The Euroblog has invited various people from both Brussels and Tallinn to write on EU-related matters. The link between Tallinn and Brussels can be considered essential since the Estonian public remains under-informed about Brussels and the Brussels community does not know perhaps how exactly things are perceived in Estonia. These reflections are of a far more personal nature than the 'official views' of the Commission that we usually circulate. We hope they invite the reader to think along and to engage in a lively discussion.
Spain - Francisco Fonseca
The blog of the Head of the European Commission's Representation in Spain offers to the users an analysis of the most relevant European topics from a local viewpoint. Everybody is invited to contribute and share their views with us. Please visit «Visiones de Europa»: A Beautiful Vision.
Netherlands - Ludolf van Hasselt
What is the role of the Representation of the European Commission in the Netherlands? You can find a wealth of information on our website www.eu.nl, but not an answer to that question. In order to make it better understood how we serve the interests of the European Commisison in our country from our beautiful premises at the Korte Vijverberg in The Hague, I have decided to start a weblog. You can read here about the events we organise, how we maintain close contacts with national -, regional -, and local authorities, and how we deal with the press. I hope that you will react, because that allows us to better respond to the questions you have. What we do not address in the blog is how we report to Brussels, that has to remain a secret!!
Finland - Marjatta Hautala
The blog and its author, press officer Hautala, give an insight to the life of the Representation of the European Commission in Finland. Weekly stories show how the working days vary and how the Commission provides EU-information in a Member State.
United Kingdom - Antonia Mochan
The Commission's head of media in the UK writes about her day-to-day work, the joys and struggles of living in London and the big EU stories of the day.
Other blogs
Innovation Unlimited
The Innovation Policy unit of DG Enterprise and Industry set up the Innovation Unlimited blog in July 2009 to support a panel of business innovators developing new ideas for future European innovation policy. We were impressed by the quality and creativity of the comments made on the blog and also by the potential for this form of communication to improve our policy making. This is why, in the unit for Innovation Policy, we decided to keep the blog going, and we are now using it to communicate and get contributions from the citizens on subjects that are live topics in the debate on European innovation policy.
