@onethuthree.bsky.social closes the event with final remarks - for the first time in her role as new Acting Co-Direktor of the Jacques Delors Centre - jokingly challenging the panelists to win the next Nobel prize for economy much like last year's guest Philippe Aghion. #ResearchMeetsPolitics #PPD

This Thursday, the European Parliament’s @imco.europarl.europa.eu will vote on the ‘transparency of third-country lobbying’ directive. The directive is intended to counter foreign interference by introducing mandatory national transparency registers for third-country lobbying. 1/

Very much looking forward to this debate. I will speak also about our most recent paper on Europe’s dependence on US foreign military sales and what to do about it www.bruegel.org/policy-brief...

Sehr gutes und wichtiges Interview von unserer Affiliate Policy Fellow @judithkohlenberger.bsky.social im @spiegel.de über die Migrationspanik in Europa und was sie mit unseren Gesellschaften macht: www.spiegel.de/ausland/migr...

Today, the EU’s Regulation on the Transparency and Targeting of Political Advertising enters into force. From now on, political ads – notably both online and offline – will have to carry a transparency label with key information about why people are seeing the ad, who paid for it and how much. 1/

Interessant, welche Bußgelder in Berlin bei Mietwucher wirklich möglich sind. Es wundert mich auch nicht, dass bei der Mietpreis-Prüfstelle bei 93% der Fälle eine zu hohe Miete festgestellt wurde.

A new chapter begins! ✨ Very much looking forward to this next chapter with @nilsredeker.bsky.social - my partner in crime since our early days as young think tankers!

We have two new Acting Co-Directors! Since October, Thu Nguyen (@onethuthree.bsky.social) & Nils Redeker (@nilsredeker.bsky.social) are leading the Jacques Delors Centre think tank, working closely with Mark Dawson, Co-Director of the research arm.

And here we go. I never wrote this article, and yet it is cited here.

And of course, it sounds so plausible, I seriously checked whether I had forgotten it, or the footnote was slightly wrong.

Schrumpfen statt wachsen? Eine neue französische Regierung steht, und zwei Parteien aus der bisherigen Minderheitsregierung drohen auszusteigen, LR und UDI. Die Opposition kocht. Was ist passiert?

Kurzfassung und Erklärungen im 🧵

The Conservatives in the European Parliament appear to be preparing a resolution to reject the Commission’s proposal for the next EU budget.

At this point, that could kill the entire package - and would be an incredibly self-defeating move.

Pünktlich zum langen Wochenende ist die neue EU to go-Folge da, die letzte mit unserem jetzt ehemaligen Direktor @lindnerjs.bsky.social. Es geht um die große Frage: Hat Europa eine Seele? Braucht es eine neue europäische Erzählung -und wenn ja, wer kann sie erzählen? open.spotify.com/episode/3GSM...

Viktor Orbán's vetoes eclipse two days of back-to-back summits in Copenhagen.

"I will not allow one country, and I will certainly not allow Mr Orbán, to take decisions upon the entire European future," Mette Frederiksen said.

My closing piece.

Letzte EU to go-Podcastaufnahme mit unserem (ehemaligen) Direktor @lindnerjs.bsky.social heute, bevor er an die EZB zurückkehrt. Diesmal zur großen Frage, wie Europas Seele wiederbelebt werden kann. Stay tuned!

Glad to see our text with @jannikjansen.bsky.social featured in today’s @theguardian.com newsletter, with some additional quotes from yours truly

In my substack EU-Analytics, I now do monthly reviews of EU voting in the EP and the Council. September 2025 edition is here, with a closer look at voting on Ukraine, overall EP changes - with another centre-right to far-right majority - and a surprise German vote in the Council:

Supercool, Judith!! Herzlichen Glückwunsch :)

The success of the far right is not only measured in votes and seats but in its impact on rhetoric, policy and ideology. The fact that a (nominally) social democratic head of government with a huge majority choses to say and do this is maybe the biggest success of the far right in Europe yet.

Our deputy director @onethuthree.bsky.social and policy fellow @jannikjansen.bsky.social published a strong OpEd in @theguardian.com, calling on #EU leaders to take a stance against the far right to defend European values internationally - a worthwhile read! 👉 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Spot on.
