The new internet platform provides new user friendly functions in four segments: All reports can be sorted by country or by question. All answers to the questionnaire are available both in HTML and PDF format. For each issue of the EU-27 Watch, a comparative introduction giving an overview on the content of the respective issue and the questionnaire are available. A time line lists all major events in EU politics since 2004.

Back issues
