Index of the final report
We hereby present the Index of the final Report of the GGP project conducted at the EU level, which is still very much work in progress. Chapter 2 describes the framework that has been developed to assess communication rights and choices that have been made to apply the framework in the EU context. Chapter 3 offers an overview of European Institutions and their functions together with insights that may be of use to civil society organizations aiming at developing advocacy initiatives at the EU level.
The pillar section (Chapter 4) is under construction, as we would like European associations and scholars to contribute in discussing draft written versions of our findings, organized according to the pillars in the framework. We also invite groups, associations and individuals to indicate meaningful advocacy initiatives that have been or are being conducted in this field in relation to EU institutions (to be inserted in Chapter 5); as well as critical analyses on communication issues in the EU that have been produced through volumes, articles, websites (to be inserted in Chapter 7).
