History and profile

The Parliament Magazine was founded in 1995. [1] The magazine is owned by Dods, a British company that provides contact and biographical information about the Houses of Parliament and the Civil Service since 1832. It is one of the oldest political publishing houses in the world, and has produced essential publications for over 174 years. They also publish Dod's Parliamentary Companion .

The Parliament Magazine is based in Brussels, Belgium. [2] It is published on a monthly basis as of September 2021, having previously been produced on a fortnightly basis. [1]

Contributors and editorial agenda

The magazine is based upon contributions—both editorial and advertorial—from sitting members of parliament, NGOs, pressure and interest groups on issues currently under discussion within the European institutions. In the last parliamentary session, more than 200 members of the European Parliament and 19 of the 27 European Commissioners wrote specifically for the magazine, providing in-depth policy coverage and analysis. The Managing editor was Brian Johnson, who also oversaw the publication of www.theparliamentmagazine.eu. [3]

Special feature editions included Green Week, Employment Week, the OECD Forum as well as in-depth EU Presidency supplements.

The seven institutions of the European Union (EU) are seated in four different cities, which are Brussels (Belgium), Frankfurt am Main (Germany), Luxembourg (Luxembourg) and Strasbourg (France), rather than being concentrated in a single capital city. All four were chosen, among various reasons, for their location halfway between France and Germany, the countries whose rivalry led to two World Wars and whose reconciliation paved the way for European integration. The EU agencies and other bodies are located all across the union, but usually not fixed in the treaties. The Hague is the only exception, as the fixed seat of the Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation (Europol). Over the years, Brussels has become the EU's political hub, with the College of the Commissioners – the European Commission's politically accountable executive – and the European Council both meeting at their Brussels-based headquarters, and the European Parliament and Council of the EU holding the majority of their meetings annually within the city. This has led to some referring to it as "the capital of the EU". However, Luxembourg City is the EU capital that can lay claim to having the most of the seven EU institutions based wholly or partly upon its territory, with only the European Council and European Central Bank not having a presence in the city.
