Chasing Brussels

This week in Chasing Brussels, Irish blogger Conor Slowey is in the hosting hotseat and he’s joined by a panel of bloggers from across Europe. Joe Litobarski offers his opinion from the UK, Eurosocialiste shows us a French perspective, Linda Margaret (an American blogger in Brussels) gives us the outside view and Ralf Grahn shares the Finnish angle.

Our plucky panelists discuss the year in EU politics, and all the goodies we have to look forward to in 2010. And what a year it’s been, eh? Between European elections in June and a tense referendum on the Lisbon Treaty in Ireland in October, there’s a lot to talk about.

In this episode eurobloggers Conor Slowey, Linda Broughton and Joe Litobarski discuss how much fun the delegates must have had at the recent EU summit, now that the Lisbon treaty has finally been signed and ratified.

But by giving the Czech republic an opt-out of The Fundamental Charter of Human Rights, did the EU give away too much? Or is this just how the EU works? What is the distinction between practice and principles in the EU? Find out what we think in this episode!
