Welcome to the first edition of The Pulse. Your newsletter from the Council of the EU.

With all eyes on the European Union during the coronavirus pandemic, we want to open a window on what is happening over here - both centre stage and behind the scenes.

In our regular newsletters, we will take the pulse of EU action and share with you the debates that impact our lives - including beyond the current health crisis. We want to bring you facts, figures and explanations about the big topics being discussed and provide a look behind the scenes and share useful information (e.g. internships opportunities, interesting events and initiatives) and reading tips for those who want to dive deeper into the most pressing issues.

We don't want this to be a one-way street - so please get in touch with us and tell us what you think, and what you would like to read about in the future.
