The Brussels Report
by Pieter Cleppe & Editorial Team
The independent bridge to Brussels. The Brussels Report delivers daily, non-partisan news on the policies and power dynamics of the European Union and the Eurozone.
About The Brussels Report
The Brussels Report is the 'analytical engine' for the EU-curious. While Playbook gives you the gossip, The Brussels Report gives you the breakdown of the policy itself. Its daily newsletter is famous for its focus on 'Accountability'—frequently questioning the expansion of EU mandates and the transparency of the Commission. It's unique for its independent stance, often providing a more critical or euro-realist perspective than more institutional outlets. It is a vital check on the 'Brussels Bubble'.
