PACT - EPPA image Daniel Guégen Article Why a merger between PACT and EPPA?

The result was an… » read more

A petition to Emmanuel Macron for his 17 April speech at the European Parliament Supplique au Président Macron pour son intervention du 17 avril au Parlement européen

March 28, 2018

Une supplique, une lettre ouverte, un article de blog sont des contributions bien modestes. Que puis-je produire d’autre, je ne suis qu’un praticien. Mais pour les affaires européennes être un patricien n’est pas dévalorisant. Car un praticien est justement à même d’analyser ce qui va et ce qui ne va pas dans le fonctionnement de… » read more

Veto or not veto pour l’acte délégué sur la traçabilité du tabac?

Questions naïves sur un dossier où chaque acteur semble jouer à front renversé Lobbyiste affirmé, professeur au Collège d’Europe, auteur, bloggeur, il n’est pas un jour sans qu’un journaliste ou un étudiant ne m’interroge pour un éclairage sur un article ou une contribution à un mémoire.
