The role of NGOs in European governance

Abstract

The partnership between the European Commission and non-governmental organisations from various fields has significantly improved in the past few years. Diversity best defines the NGO sector, as it features organisations with a wide variety of objectives. Therefore, the strengthening of the relationship between these organisations and the European Commission could help achieve those objectives and benefit both parties. Thus, in order to do that, discussions must never cease, as these negotiations complete the institutional process of drafting European policies.
