In the midst of ongoing turbulence in financial markets, sluggish growth and elevating debt, the European Journalism Centre is organising in early October, in co-operation with DG Economic and Financial Affairs of the European Commission, an exclusive programme for journalists specialising in economic and financial issues from the Euro Zone-17 countries.

This three-day seminar will feature panel discussions as well as on and off the record talks with senior members of the EU (including the Commission and the Parliament) as well as experts from the NGO, think tank and academic communities in Brussels. Economic governance will again be a key theme as well as economic forecasts.

Participating journalists will have the opportunity to attend press conferences following the meetings of finance ministers from the EU-27 (ECFIN Council)as well as the European Commission midday briefing.

The discussions will be lively, informal and should significantly help those attending get the inside track on where the Euro area economy and currency is and is forecast to go in the near future.

The EJC would be pleased to invite you to attend this unique, high-calibre seminar. The organisers will cover the flights (home country - Brussels, Brussels - home country), accommodation (including breakfast) and some lunches and dinners.
