Three notices.
1. EUROPEAN ELECTIONS. You may have noted that not a word has been heard
from me about these, which took place nearly a month ago. Let me
belatedly put that right.
* FINLAND. Tapio Raunio of Tampere University was quickly out with his
report for the Sussex-based European Parties Elections and Referendums
Network (EPERN). His paper can be read on the network's website
(www.sussex.ac.uk/sei/1-4-2-2.html).
* SWEDEN. The authors of the EPERN report on Sweden - namely, me and
Malena Rosén Sundström, who works at Lund University - were out of the
blocks rather more slowly. But I attach a draft of our report.
* DENMARK. This, too, will appear in due course on the EPERN site.
Meanwhile, let me refer you (as usual) to Jacob Christensen's blog
(http://jacobchristensen.name/tag/europe-2009/).
2. NORWAY AND EUROPE. For anyone who's interested in this topic (and who
wouldn't be?), and who can read Norwegian, you might be interested in an
informative new blog on the subject, run by several journalists. It's
called Europabloggen.no.
3. THE SWEDISH PRESIDENCY. The day before yesterday, Sweden took over
the presidency of the EU Council of Ministers. High on the list of
priorities will be getting the Lisbon treaty through, building up to the
big climate-change conference in Copenhagen in December, EU-level
financial-market regulation, and the "Stockholm programme" of
justice-and-home-affairs co-operation.
Otherwise, have a fine summer.
Nick Aylott.
