👍Big crowd in the Berlaymont press bar at the invitation of the COM SPP. It seems to be the best place to hold the Midday😉

Dear Colleagues,
At the EP IT desk, accredited journalists can get permanent WI-FI access for 4 months, so you don't have to log in every time you visit the parliament. For the time being we have to renew it every 4 months. The IT Desk is on the first floor of building “E” 👇

Good luck!

NATO Summit mediacenter with more than 500 journalists accredited.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, reporting on the EU has been massively restricted. EU correspondents are cut off from their sources & free research is hardly possible anymore. It's the dream of political marketers and a nightmare for reporters.

🛎️URGENT!
If you forgot to renew your inter-institutional accreditation do it NOW! The Interactio system is accessible only to journalists with valid accreditation. As of 15 March, colleagues without it will no longer have access to the online midday briefing!
December 29, 2024 at 8:26 PM
Dear Colleagues,
We wish you Happy Holidays and a Covid-free New Year full of personal meetings!

Dear Colleagues,
During the next #EUCO the AV media can have stand-up positions in the red 🟥area.
The police will allow approx. 15 TV crews to take positions in the yellow🟨 area. For these you should apply at the Council Press Service.
The blue one is not for journalists.

🙂We had a very interesting online API Hour today!
Thanks to @ThomasBickl and Dr. Ana Milosevic for the presentation and discussion about the Western Balkans! 🙏
Thanks to everybody who took part in our Zoom meeting!
To be continued...

❓Questions about the EP next plenary.
All we can say is that there'll be a possibility for Bxl based correspondents to be invited to Strasbourg. The procedure for application will be a bit different (online), but we are still awaiting the final details. We'll inform all of you.

Dear Colleagues,
API-IPA is in constant consultation with the Commission, the Council & the Parliament about the gradual lifting of the restrictive measures.

In order to be able to ask questions in remote journalists are advised to use earphones with a microphone.
"Journalists, using earphones or headphones with a microphone, play a very important role in making their questions clearly understandable", @EU_Council Press told us.
