For the European Commission's White Paper on Governance, please visit the EU Web site:
http://europa.eu.int/comm/governance/white_paper/index_en.htm

With our initiative we hope to contribute to the never ending debate on institutional reform and the more recent debate on reform of governance practices which the White Paper suggests or addresses.
