24/08/2000 (Agence Europe) - "The European Policy Centre" chaired by Stanley Crossick has published its annual report for 1999, in which he notes above all the success of Challenge Europe, its electronic daily launched in March (website: http://www.TheEPC.be ). Former European Commissioners Peter Sutherland and Karel Van Miert, Chair and Member of the Advisory Board of the EPC respectively, stress the contribution that can be made by this sort of "think tank" in periods of great change as at present. The report, which takes stock of 1999 activities and also the programme already carried out during the year in progress (including the many working breakfasts with European personalities), opens with a "message" from Stanley Crossick, who mainly stresses the role played within the EPC by Hywel Ceri Jones and John Palmer. (We recall that Max Kohnstamm, European from the very beginning, is one of the most heeded members of the Centre).
