Training courses
Following the success of our 'Lisbon Changes' and 'Europa Changes' half day courses, we're running them again - this time in Coventry on Friday 25 June.
'Lisbon Changes' highlights the main developments in the EU institutions and decision-making processes brought about by the Treaty of Lisbon.
'Europa Changes' provides expert advice on navigating the new Europa website and its subsites, including EUR-Lex and Eurostat.
Delegates can attend one session or both. Prices for EIA members are £90 half day, £140 full day; non-member prices are £125 and £175 respectively.
The draft programmes can be viewed via our Training page, which also has an online booking facility.
Bulletin get the bullet
With no fanfare, the Bulletin of the EU has ceased publication. The last issue covered July/August 2009. Whilst never a favourite for an easy read, the Bulletin was considered by many to be an essential tool for researchers.
Combined with the downgrading of the General Report into a glossy, poorly-referenced
publication, the demise of the Bulletin makes one worry for the future of serious EU information tools. The Bulletin page now directs visitors to the press pages of Europa, where many will struggle to find information of a similar quality, as most press releases don't even quote COMdoc numbers!
Enquiry service
Our AskEric service gives EIA members the chance to pose their questions to our EU information experts. Whether it's simple or complex - if you're having trouble finding the answer, try AskEric ...
A recent question was: Do you know if the European Citizens Initiative Regulation has been published yet? And when it is, how can I check its progress? For the full answer see our latest newsletter at www.eia.org.uk
Regards,
Eric
