EU transparency & the Right to Know Day 2010
It is true: The EU is, in some regards, more transparent than some of its member states. However, information is hard to find unless you are an EU expert. There is also no established culture of transparency throughout the EU institutions and all their EU officials. This makes it harder for civil society to hold […]
Live from the MDG summit, or perhaps not?

Corruption ignored entirely in Barroso’s State of the Union address…
Perhaps the most striking oversight of the Barroso address delivered in Strasbourg on Tuesday was the complete absence of the theme of corruption in the EU.

Countdown to the Millennium Development Goals Summit
By Craig Fagan and Jesse Garcia Five years, 127 days, eight hours and 40 minutes. That is the time left until the Millennium Development Goals are to be achieved (at least as I type this – https://www.mdgmonitor.org). And in a much smaller amount of time – one month – world leaders will be gathering at […]
