EurActiv strengthens further the in-depth coverage of the EU enlargement policy in 2010

EurActiv, the independent media portal specialised in EU policies, will be increasing in-depth coverage of EU Enlargement issues. This is thanks to support from the Turkish Industrialists` and Businessmen`s Association (TUSIAD).

TUSIAD`s Deputy Secretary General Hale Hatipoglu said: "TUSIAD is glad to support EurActiv's leading role for the rational and resourceful communication of the European issues through internet and open debates."

EurActiv Publisher Christophe Leclercq said:  “We at EurActiv are committed to encouraging debate on Enlargement issues, Turkey plays an important role in this process. We are delighted to dedicate more time and space to covering these issues for readers across the Union. We are able to do so thanks to the support of TUSIAD on one hand and DG ENLARGEMENT on the other hand.”

The Enlargement sections on all 10 EurActiv Network partner portals have been supported by the European Commission`s DG Enlargement since September 2009.

Conferences organized by TUSIAD have long ago been a source of information and a valuable insight in the changing state of mind of main protagonists in the intricate EU-Turkey relations.
To complement the new section, EurActiv.com is publishing a free weekly newsletter on Enlargement. You can subscribe  here.
