| The Centre for Parliamentary History, with financial support of the Montesquieu Institute, launched a series of systematic interviews of a dozen Dutch (former) members of the European Parliament. These interviews will result in the Dutch publication of the book "Brusselse Verhalen: Europarlementariƫrs over de werking en dagelijkse praktijk van het Europees Parlement, 1979-2011" Until now attention for the personal experiences of members of the European Parliament who, often against the current, have been working to achieve the realisation of the institute of the European Parliament, has been very low. The interview project of the Centre for Parliamentary History will try to fill this gap. |
