Pipelines, politics and power
report with contributions from Andris Piebalgs, Konstantin Kosachev, Sergey Yastrzhembsky, Cliff Gaddy, Dmitri Trenin, Roland Götz and many others, October 2008

Does the Kremlin use energy as a political weapon? Why is Russia’s oil and gas output stagnating? Can and should the EU try to reduce its dependence on Russian hydrocarbons? Are the EU and Russia engaged in a pipeline war? What does energy solidarity mean? What rules should govern EU-Russia energy relations? These are just some of the questions addressed in this report by more than a dozen eminent experts, officials and politicians. Russia is, and will remain for the foreseeable future, the EU’s single most important energy supplier. For Russia, the EU is by far the biggest and most lucrative market. Therefore, energy will remain at the heart of what is an increasingly difficult and complex relationship.

How to make EU emissions trading
a success
report by Simon Tilford, May 2008

The European Union has set ambitious targets to limit greenhouse gases. But it will not be able to meet these targets without an effective market for trading carbon emissions. Simon Tilford argues that the Commission's proposals for reform of the EU's emissions trading scheme address many of its short-comings, but do not go far enough. He argues that Europe's carbon market needs robust and independent institutions to run and oversee it. Without these, it will fail to act as a model for the international bodies that will be needed to manage global emissions trading.

Can Europe and China shape a new world order?
report by Charles Grant with Katinka Barysch, May 2008

A new world order is emerging, with multiple centres of power. But will this order be multilateral, with governments accepting
global rules and institutions? Or will the strongest states assert their interests unilaterally, without regard to international law? The relationship between the EU and China could determine the outcome. If the Europeans can persuade China that multilateralism serves its interests, the international system may tilt towards co-operation rather than competition.

The Lisbon scorecard VIII:
Is Europe ready for an economic storm?
report by Katinka Barysch, Simon Tilford
and Philip Whyte, February 2008

After more than half a decade of economic gloom, the years 2006 and 2007 restored some much-needed optimism to Europe. Faster GDP growth and falling unemployment were at least partly due to the implementation of structural reform. But governments must not become complacent, especially at a time when a global downturn is set to test Europe’s economic resilience. The Lisbon Scorecard VIII shows how much EU member-states still have to do to encourage innovation, bring people into the workforce, cut greenhouse gases and meet their many other Lisbon targets.

European choices for Gordon Brown
report by Charles Grant, with Hugo Brady, Simon Tilford and Aurore Wanlin, June 2007

Gordon Brown becomes prime minister at a pivotal moment for the European Union. French President Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel have emerged as powerful European leaders. They are Atlanticist, pragmatic on EU institutions, (fairly) economically liberal – and keen to work with Britain. In this new CER report, Charles Grant and his co-authors argue that Brown should work with Sarkozy and Merkel to improve the EU's capacity to confront global challenges.

Charles Grant is director of the Centre for European Reform. Hugo Brady is a research fellow. Simon Tilford is head of the business unit and Aurore Wanlin is a research fellow.

The Lisbon scorecard VII: Will globalistion leave Europe stranded?
report by Katinka Barysch, Simon Tilford and Aurore Wanlin, February 2007

Globalisation and the rapid integration of China and India into the international economy present huge opportunities for the European Union. But only those member-states with a strong comparative advantage in knowledge-based goods and services will benefit. The CER’s seventh Lisbon scorecard paints a mixed picture of the EU’s prospects. While some member states are well-placed, others are not and must invest much more in human capital and research and development.

Katinka Barysch is chief economist, Simon Tilford is head of the business unit, and Aurore Wanlin is a research fellow at the Centre for European Reform.
