Data Protection
07 February - 07 February 2012, Brussels, Belgium
Data protection is no longer just a national or European concern, but an international topic that cannot be sidelined. While the use of the Internet and mobile applications is ever-increasing, the topic also involves further police cooperation in the fight against terrorism and serious crime. Consequently, the 1995 European Data Protection Directive is planned to be updated in 2012 in order to correspond to the changes in the globalised world.
Commissioner Reding will address on 7 February 2012 a group of 30 journalists from EU-27 on the new approach to data protection in Europe.
This one-day seminar is organised by the European Journalism Centre on behalf of the European Commission, and will be held in Brussels.
The organisers cover the travel arrangements, accommodation and meals for the duration of the programme. The event is open for journalists from national print, broadcast and online media from the EU-27.

The European Journalism Centre, in cooperation with the European Commission's Directorate General Communication, is pleased to invite you to an exclusive 1-day seminar in Brussels on economic governance and Eurozone growth prospects on the 21st of February 2012.

For some countries it goes too far, but it is widely agreed that without further integration, the Eurozone cannot survive. The common currency entered the crucial year of its existence.
At the same time, the EU countries are in danger of slipping back into the recession and are striving for growth Can austerity and growth marry each other?
40 journalists and editors from the EU-27 will have the possibility to discover and discuss possible scenarios to this ongoing debate through meetings with top European officials, experts and think tanks. Organisers will cover flights, accommodation and some meals.

Background briefing on EU's response to economic and financial challenges
21 February - 23 February 2012, Brussels
The major economic and fiscal crisis continues to haunt us. The European sovereign debt crisis has prompted intense action by the EU's national governments, the European Central Bank and the European Commission in order to support growth and employment, ensure financial stability and put in place measures of a reinforced EU's economic governance.
Against this background, the European Journalism Centre and the European Commissions DG Economic and Financial Affairs invite you to attend a three-day seminar, which will be held from 21-23 February 2012 in Brussels exclusively for journalists from non-euro EU member states, covering economic issues.
This three-day seminar will feature panel discussions as well as on and off the record talks with senior members of the EU (including the EU Commission and the EU Parliament) as well as experts from the NGO, think tank and academic communities in Brussels. Economic governance will again be a key theme.
Participating journalists will have the opportunity to attend the press conference of the Economic and Financial Affairs Council, the European Commissions midday briefing followed by the interim economic forecast press conference by EU Commissioner for Economic and Monetary Affairs Olli Rehn.
The discussions will be lively, informal and should significantly help those attending to get the inside track on where the EU economy and currency is and what future predictions are being made about it.
A more detailed seminar programme will be available shortly. NB: Travel and accommodation will be covered by the European Commission.
If you are interested in the background briefing, please register online via the EJC seminar website until 3 February 2012.
For further programme information, please contact Biba Klomp (klomp@ejc.net).

Covering the Spring European Council for Euro-area journalists
29 February - 02 March 2012, Brussels
Will 2012 be an annus horribilis for the Eurozone? Or will the Euroclub find its way out of the crisis?
The European Journalism Centre on behalf of the European Commissions DG ECFIN invites journalists from the Eurozone countries to come to Brussels and discuss these questions with EU officials and independent experts.
The context of the crisis is changing rapidly with reinforcement of economic governance, the downgrading of some Eurozone countries as well as the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF) by one of the rating agencies and the ongoing problems in Greece.
Eighteen selected media professionals will attend a series of meetings from 29 February to 2 March 2012. Moreover, they will be given the opportunity to cover the Spring European Council meeting where the 27 heads of states will deal with the most urgent economic problems of the EU and the Eurozone.
The organisers will cover travel expenses, accommodation and most meals.
