Papers prepared for the Colloquium "Working for Europe: Perspectives on the EU 50 Years after the Treaties of Rome." Chambre belge des representants Belgische Kamer van Volksvertegenwoordigers 9 March 2007. Bruges Political Research Paper No. 4, June 2007

The Chamber of Representatives of the Belgian Parliament asked the permanent professors of the College of Europe to write brief papers for a conference organized in honour of the 50th anniversary of the Treaty of Rome. The objective of these papers was to highlight the main challenges facing the European Union in four different issue areas (Lisbon Strategy, enlargement, Neighbourhood Policy and institutional reform) and to generate a debate among Belgian academics, politicians and members of civil society. The papers produced used to promote this discussion are reprinted here. A transcript of the proceedings (including interventions by participants) can be found on the Belgian Chamber of Representative’s website,http://www.lachambre.be/kvvcr/pdf_sections/comm/committee/col029-PR.pdf
