In addition, focus is put on the program of the German EU-Presidency. On the other hand the series aims to continue the cooperation already initiated in August 2004 and November 2005, with the aim of bringing together representatives of NGOs, interest groups and representatives of the EU institutions and to improve their communication and networking.
