The Center for European Policy

As a Centre of Expertise, the CEP builds the bridge between the politics of the European Union and its perception and monitoring in Germany.

In a steady dialogue with academics, political decision-makers, media and the public, the CEP

• develops strategies and concepts for the economic policy of the EU,
• monitors regulatory plans of the EU in a constructive and independent manner,
• creates transparency of and awareness for European politics and its effects on Germany.

The ordo-liberal free market principle constitutes the academic foundation of our work.

Our Method of Working

RESEARCH

We provide comprehensive and up-to-date background information on EU projects by monitoring European policies in a systematic and consistent manner.

ANALYSIS

We evaluate the EU’s relevant political plans - before they are passed - by conducting legal and economic impact assessments.

INFORMATION

We offer essential facts and figures to decision-makers as well as to the general public on the background, content and impact of the EU’s regulatory plans. Furthermore, we initiate fact-based debates on European policy matters.

CONSULTING

Through our expertise, which contain practical policy options, we support politicians, media and society in contributing to the shaping of EU-policy.
