About the Brief

Brussels Brief is a daily publication covering policy, politics, and regulation in the European Union. Each weekday, we provide a concise briefing on the decisions, debates, and developments shaping the EU institutions and their impact across Europe and beyond. Our focus is on clarity and relevance: what has happened, why it matters.

At the end of each week, we publish a longer editorial that examines a major theme, trend, or policy question in greater depth. These pieces aim to place day-to-day developments in context and to reflect on their broader implications.

Brussels Brief is written for readers who need a reliable understanding of EU affairs without excess commentary or jargon, including policymakers, professionals, researchers, and anyone following how European decisions are made.

We are independent and editorially focused.

Our purpose is to inform, not to advocate.
