EuroComment in 2025
Over the past two decades, EuroComment has produced a continuous flow of well-documented and authoritative studies of the European Council and established two distinctive, high level discussion groups.
The European Council is the heart of the European Union's system of government. Operating as it does through 27 member state governments as well as through the Commission and other EU institutions and agencies, the EU does not have a single executive. Composed of the leaders of the 27 member state governments and the president of the Commission, the European Council brings the principal actors together in one institution.
Former President of the European Council
"Peter Ludlow is an exceptionally shrewd observer of the European Council meetings, the main political stage of the Union. Like no-one else he understands the mechanisms of undertaking decisions and what happens behind the scenes before they are taken. Only he is able to write about them with such surgical precision, compellingly and with a great sense of humour.”
Herman Van Rompuy
Former President of the European Council
“No one will be able to write a history of the European Council, and therefore of the Union, without consulting Peter Ludlow’s Eurocomments. An invaluable source of information and insight.”
