Britain “must accept EU role in crisis”
Published Date: 24 October 2008
By Tom Smithard
Britons do not need to love the European Union – but need to appreciate its role in solving the current financial crisis, the European Minister said yesterday.
Caroline Flint, MP for the Don Valley, said Europe has brought benefits to Yorkshire such as increased investment and more jobs.
In her inaugural speech in her new role, given at Leeds University yesterday, the former Housing Minister and Yorkshire Minister outlined her vision for the future of Europe. For more click HERE.

News and Ideas about Europe
As part of the project “Europe in my Eyes”, we now have created a blog specifically for discussing visions of the EU. Please take a look at http://jmecelabblog.wordpress.com and see it for yourself.
The new moderated site is called EuroBlogFest, and we are now inviting authors to participate in it. We currently have a fast growing audience reach. Publishing your views of the EU, the 2009 elections to the European Parliament and visions of the future EU is simple, and it can be done quickly. We intend to open the blog to external contributors and increase the amount of material.
The participation is simple: as an authorised contributor you can post (up to 300 words) on any topic you like that falls within the broad area of “Europe in my eyes”.
Remember that you will need to submit your posts within a certain periodicity (every week, or every two-weeks).
BRIEF DESCRIPTION:
What: We are looking for JMECE Lab EuroBlogFest contributors (authors).
What to write about: Any topics related to the idea of EU will be welcomed.
How often: you choose between two types of contributions, weekly or fortnight.
Moderation: The blog space will be open and moderated by the team leaders (Fabro Steibel and Stergios Mavrikis). Any article or blog posting MUST conform to University of Leeds regulations. The moderators have absolute discretion to refuse to publish material that does not conform with the regulations.
How to publish: You will have access to the blog to post your own material OR you can send the text/images to us and we will post it for you.
Who can participate: JMECE Lab members, University of Leeds doctoral students, and members of staff associated with the JMECE.
We look forward to you joining the group.
