IMPORTANT NEWS!

 

Next Tuesday 13 October at 10.30 am we shall be organising the first oral Pre-Summit Briefing about a European Council meeting.

 

This initiative is in response to requests from several members who have told us that they would like to get an early sense of what the leaders will be talking about and how their conversation is shaping up. Two days before a meeting, the briefing is bound to be tentative, because a lot can and often does happen in the last 60 hours. But Coreper will have worked intensively through the draft conclusions by 13 October and there should be plenty of other clues too, not to mention a lot of accurate and inaccurate speculation in the media.

 

Please note that this innovation will NOT affect the written Pre-Summit Briefing, which will as usual be circulated on the evening before the EUCO.
