Nouveau à Bruxelles : service de repassage

Tous les jeunes travaillant à Bruxelles – les hommes en particulier – ont une chose en commun : la corvée hebdomadaire de repassage des chemises. Tout bon lobbyiste se doit en effet d’être en permanence habillé élégamment. Et pas seulement pendant les heures de bureau : les chemises doivent être tout aussi irréprochables à 18 heures pour le ‘networking’ sur la place du Luxembourg ou à l’une des nombreuses réceptions organisées chaque soir.

Equality for all, also outside Brussels

by Roel Hoenders Only three days before the Brussels Gay Pride 2007 took place on 12 May, one of the political groups of the European Parliament (ALDE) organized a public seminar entitled “Gay Prides: exposure and impact”. The purpose of the meeting was both to inform and share gay pride experiences to an audience of EU decision- and policymakers. Such political events are needed as gay prides still suffer from severe opposition in some EU Member States (mostly countries who joined the EU in 2004), sometimes even violence and hatred from public, police and political and religious leaders.

Aan alle schrijvers in of uit de dop

cafebabel.com is een uniek online Europees tijdschrift. 6 jaar geleden begonnen als het project van vier Erasmus studenten in Straatsburg, had het als doel een virtueel, Europees discussieplatform te creëren. Hier zijn ze in geslaagd, en inmiddels is cafebabel.com uitgegroeid tot een volwassen en gerespecteerd medium, met een uitgebreid netwerk van 20 lokale bureaus (waaronder Amsterdam) en 1000 vrijwillige journalisten en vertalers verspreid over heel Europa. Maar dit alles maakt het nog niet uniek. On the blog amsterdam.

cafebabel.com Brussels thanks its chat participants

On the night of the French elections, cafebabel.com gathered around at The Centre, a think-do-tank in Brussels, to engage in a live online chat with journalists from around the continent. Among them was Simon O'Connor, editor at E!Sharp magazine, and Teresa Kuchler from Europolitique. Soon after the result had been made official, a discussion began to form on the implications for Europe. Many agreed that capitals throughout the continent would be content with the outcome, seeing that renegotiating a new treaty with S. Royal would have been tough. As the discussion progressed, perspectives from other mebmer-states were put into the mix. Read on for an extract of the transcript! On the blog bruxelles.

French elections: Interview with Paul Adamson, director of the Think-Do-Tank "The Centre" in Brussel

Live from The Centre in Brussels cafebabel.com - What is your first impression of this election's outcome? Paul Adamson - Ever since the referendum on the Constitution 2 years ago, Europe has been waiting for a change in France. Now we know what direction France will turn to, and Europe will at last be able to advance. Even though N. Sarkozy has shown not to be particularly interested in Europe, he recognizes its importance. Europe is a reality that has to be dealt with. Politics are not the same as they were in De Gaulle's age, 40 years ago. Today, what is important for France is to find common ground on key issues with a majority of partners. On the blog bruxelles.

Une vision rétrograde!

Flavien Delfort, Assistant au Parlement européen, estime la vision de Nicolas Sarkozy sur l'Europe rétrograde: "Sarkozy veut que la France soit la première nation de l'Europe; ça veut dire que lorsque l'Europe voudra aller de l'avant, Sarkozy s'assurera qu'il faudra d'abord demander à la France.
