CEPS-CSE project on the future of EU policymaking
In January 2008, CEPS and the Confederation of Swedish Enterprise launched a new project termed “Policymaking in the EU: past achievements and proposals for reform”. The project will last 15 months and will be coordinated by Andrea Renda, CEPS Senior Research Fellow and Head of the Regulatory Affairs Programme. During the next months, CEPS will appoint one working group on the “future of Europe”, led by Sebastian Kurpas; one working group on subsidiarity, headed by Jacques Pelkmans; and one on better regulation, led by Andrea Renda. These issues will be analysed and discussed with external experts, scholars, policymakers and practitioners; the main findings will be compiled into a Final Report, which will be presented in early 2009 in Brussels and Stockholm, with the aim to provide a set of policy recommendations to the upcoming Swedish presidency in mid-2009.
