The Institute for European Politics (Berlin) website features an enormously useful ‘EU 28 watch’ which offers a round-up of current thinking on EU policies and issues in all the member states: http://www.eu-28watch.org/.

The best place to search for websites of the member and candidate states’ national administrations is http://www.europa.eu/abc/european_countries/index_en.htm. Other useful links can also be found on the homepage of the European Commission http://ec.europa.eu/index_en.htm.
