Whither Europe? Interviewing author David Harley on his recent book Matters of Record
Why you should watch: David Harley was, for many years, at the heart of the European bureaucracy - the face in the photo right behind the Prime Minister or the President of the day, who had to make sure that the machinery of the EU worked. He has now published his diaries - Matters of Record: Inside European Politics. They make fascinating reading; a view of EU politics from an angle that one doesn't normally see. Retired now, David is still close to the 'beating heart' of Europe, and offers thoughts on Britain's evolving relationship and on the continuing points of friction. Denis MacShane (a former Europe Minister) shares his commitment to Europe (he has now taken Irish citizenship), and offers his own thoughts.
Moderators: Andrew Hilton (Director, CSFI) & Jane Fuller (Co-director, CSFI)
David Harley was deputy Secretary-general at the European Parliament for a decade. He is (in his own words) 'a well-travelled, observant and seasoned European public servant'. In a long Brussels career, David (who is a Brit, currently living in London) was also Secretary-general of the Socialist Group in the Parliament, and close to the Labour Party leadership.
Denis MacShane is the former MP for Rotherham, and Europe Minister under Tony Blair. He is also the author of several books on Europe - including his best-seller, Brexiternity.
