03 Jun 2009: Video conference with the European Parliament. What is it? What does it do? What are its powers? What do the elections mean for the EU States? Why does it matter for Australia?

Venue: Monash Conference Centre, Melbourne

On June 3, in light of the upcoming European Parliament Elections on 4-7 June 2009, the Monash European and EU Centre held a background briefing video conference with Marjory van den Broeke (Head of the Press Room Unit) and Ralph Pine (Press Room Unit) of the European Parliament.

This was followed by a lively discussion with questions about the European parliamentary elections, the powers of the European Parliament, and issues of relevance to Australia.
