Content EurActiv's Editorial Mission defines its guiding principles as 'efficiency', 'transparency' and 'balance' in reporting EU news and policy debates in 15 languages. In addition to the news reporting, EurActiv differentiates itself to other EU specialized media by providing policy reporting upstream of EU-policy proposals, becoming a monitoring tool that allows interested actors to follow policies from the pre-legislative phase to their implementation, and mapping the positions of all stakeholders involved at key moments in the debate. EurActiv publishes in 15 languages: Bulgarian, Czech, English, French, German, Greek, Italian, Lithuanian, Montenegrin, Polish, Romanian, Serbian, Slovak, Spanish and Turkish. History and organisation EurActiv was founded in 1999 by Christophe Leclercq with the objective to work towards "Efficacité et Transparence des Acteurs Européens", enabling quick access to EU-policy news and stakeholder positions, while highlighting the different positions before policy decisions are being made.
