From Bonn to Brussels
Advice to the Organs of the European Union

Advice to the Organs of the European Union

The EU Commission, its Directorate General and the European Parliament are increasingly relying on the advice of experts in the various phases of decision-making (e.g. by commissioning expert opinions from research institutes and the participation of scientists in EU committees). In addition, high-level expert groups are also set up on designated topics, mostly composed of high-ranking representatives from civil society, business and academia, who formulate opinions, assessments and proposals in the direction of the EU. Advice also flows from Bonn to Brussels.
