The Association of European Journalist (AEJ Belgium) organizes, in collaboration with Holland House, its first autumn cocktail at the Club Royal des Guides, Rue d’Arlon 32, Brussels with some special guests invited to talk straight forward -talking Dutch- about the European Common Security and Defense Policy (CSDP).

After welcoming you into this exceptional military decor, the event will start with a short presentation of the recent book by the vice-president of the French AEJ section, Nicolas Gros-Verheyde, and short intervention(s)-comments by some fellow-journalists.

Nicolas is correspondent EU and NATO for French newspaper Sud-Ouest and chief-editor for B2 Bruxelles2, a Francophone website on European politics (foreign affairs, defense and crises).

AEJ plans a series of interviews with Nicolas and other experts. These interviews taken by AEJ members will be made available on the web as extra background resource for fellow journalists, academics and citizens having an interest in the CSDP of the EU.
