EP votes that shaped EU and national politics 2009-2014

The project was conducted in collaboration with Notre Europe, within the framework of the Vote Watch Europe Annual Report. Twelve European think-tanks took part in the project, which aimed to evaluate the European Parliament’s (EP) activity during the current legislation (2009-2014), and spread the results to the national public opinion before the next election. The national impact of the fifteen most significative EP votes was analysed with the direct involvement of national politicians and stakeholders. A case study for each participating country and a national conference for dissemination of the results were produced. A report [2] prepared by IAI in cooperation with Centro Studi sul Federalismo has been presented at a conference held in Turin on 14 April 2014 [3]. The project, started in September 2013, was concluded in June 2014.
