Understanding how the EU works – who wields the real power and influence in Brussels and what factors shape their decisions – is ever more important. Whatever your views on the EU, you can’t afford to ignore it.

Published bi-monthly, E!Sharp gives lively analysis of European Union affairs that is in-depth but accessible, as well as provocative opinion pieces by leading writers in Europe and as far afield as Washington DC and Moscow.

E!Sharp celebrated its fifth birthday in January 2007 with events in Brussels and at the German embassy in London, attended by European Commission Vice-President Margot Wallström, UK Europe Minister Geoff Hoon and BP Chairman Peter Sutherland.

In addition to our individual subscribers in both the public and private sectors, the magazine is distributed to hundreds of senior officials in the European Commission, to all Members of the European Parliament and their staff and in numerous diplomatic missions in Brussels.
