Organised by the faculty “European Union, institutions and policies” of the National Conservatory of Arts and Crafts (Cnam) under the direction of Nicole Gnesotto, the goal of this round of conferences is to help to interpret the new interactions that are forming between the European Union and the process of economic globalisation.

Foreword

Dear Readers,

welcome to this site.

It is not simply the webpage of the Member of the European Parliament, who I have become with great apprehension. Not of the journalist either, who I have been for half a century.

It is a wild ambition: I wanted to give a report on my work as an elected representative in Brussels and in Strasbourg, to continue to follow the evolution of world politics and to try to describe and decipher the stakes and the mysteries behind the scenes of the European institutions.

I wanted to create a multilingual site, to step across the borders that sometimes still separate us.

“Smithing makes the smith”, I hope you will bear with me.

Yours, 

Bernard Guetta
