EU country briefing: The Netherlands – by Ery Papalamprou, Fengwei David An and Robert Steenland
In this year’s European Parliament (EP) election, the Netherlands will vote for 26 or 29 (minus UK) Members of Parliament (MEPs) to represent its interests.
Most Dutch people appear to have a positive outlook on the EU, as 78% (fourth highest in the EU) consider EU membership to be a good thing, compared to just 5% that have opposing views on the matter.
Similar percentages reflect Dutch support for the euro, as 78% are in favour of the single currency while 18% are against. Furthermore, 75% of the Dutch population feel
that they are citizens of the EU.

EU-Turkish Relations: EU and Turkey on same side against US - by Bugra Susler
The Turkey-US trade spat has led to EU leaders backing Turkey against the US administration's policies.
This not only shows the extent of economic interdependence between Europe and Turkey, but also signals the development of a common stance in the face of a bullying trade partner.
When US president Donald Trump took to Twitter to celebrate the downward trajectory of the Turkish lira against the US dollar, Europe was concerned about the potential spillover of rapidly growing economic turmoil in Turkey.
In particular, Germany, Turkey's biggest trading partner, came to Turkey's defence.
At a news conference in Berlin, German chancellor Angela Merkel made it clear that "Germany would like to see an economically prosperous Turkey" and emphasised that "No one has an interest in the economic destabilisation of Turkey."

EU Economic Review - Future Shape of Europe: Macron Vs. the Germans? - by Holger Schmieding
French president Emmanuel Macron travelled to Berlin for serious negotiations about the future shape of Europe. Will he achieve much?
Almost everybody would like to support him, partly to strengthen his hand against his anti-European adversaries at home. But hardly anybody in Berlin seems ready to breach “red lines“ drawn in the past.
Macron probably knows by now that he will have to settle for some modest changes for the time being, with only baby steps to be agreed by the time of the next EU summit on June 28-29, 2018.
Money isn’t the key issue. Germany is ready to spend more and put more of it at risk. But it would come with three key strings attached.
1. Berlin will insist that commitments involving serious amounts of money will remain subject to approval by the German parliament, as is currently the case for support programs of the European Stability Mechanism (ESM). For those who love unwieldy German words, get used to “Parlamentsvorbehalt.“
2. Upon gradually completing the banking union, Germany will insist that each step to share risks comes after a step to reduce risks.
3. Partly because the Eurozone economy is doing fine at the moment and Germany is reluctant to endorse a major change in the governance of the Eurozone, Germany puts significant emphasis on changes for the EU rather than just the Eurozone level. For instance, this means improving controls of external borders (including significantly increasing the funding for FRONTEX), controlling migration and beefing up joint defense projects.

Europe's Majority Backs Hillary A new Hillary demographic: Europe’s center right – by Ryan Heath
The prospect of a Donald Trump presidency and the new look of the
Republican party he now leads is causing some center-right European
parties to rethink their political allegiances.
The shift was evident in the stark contrast in attendance by European politicians at the Democratic convention here in Philadelphia and those who went to the Republican gathering last week:
In Cleveland only former UKIP leader Nigel Farage, Dutch far-right leader Geert Wilders and a few members of the European Conservatives and Reformists group could be found. In Philadelphia, there were representatives from a range of political groups, including center-right politicians who typically would have been more at home at a Republican convention.
An opinion sampling of those politicians — from parties normally at each other throats in Brussels, from the Greens to the center-right Christian Democrats — found overwhelming support for Hillary Clinton to be the next president of the United States.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel told reporters Thursday in Berlin it was a “clear ‘no'” when asked if the prospect of a Trump presidency is giving her nightmares, but the feeling isn’t shared by ministers and MPs here in Philadelphia.
“Historically I have definitely more of a Republican, at least on the economic side, but there’s no way I could convince myself to support someone like Donald Trump,” said Belgian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander de Croo.
