How to follow EU current affairs

The current affairs category changes with the news cycle – but the EU calendar itself is surprisingly predictable. Knowing its rhythm makes it much easier to place events: the European Parliament is elected every five years, a new Commission takes office afterwards, each member state chairs the Council presidency for six months, and every September the Commission President delivers the State of the Union speech.

Reliable starting points for EU news:

Official sources: the press corners of the Commission, Parliament and Council publish decisions first-hand.
Specialised media: outlets dedicated to European politics follow legislative files daily.
Summit dates: European Council meetings, usually four times a year, are where the biggest headlines originate.

Because this category reflects ongoing developments, its question pool is updated more often than the others. Play the EU current affairs quiz regularly to keep up – and combine it with the EU Shorts for quick summaries of recent topics.
