Dear friends and colleagues!
After a long and partly unusually hot summer, which I hope was relaxing for you, life is now also returning to Brussels. The members of the Parliament are back from holidays, the European Commission is under full steam again producing both good and bad news, which is also reported in this newsletter.
But above all, the AEC event season has started again with a very successful International Relations Coordinators Meeting in Leuven, and we are looking forward to slowly approaching AEC Congress 2023 in The Hague.
