Polityka informacyjna Wspólnot Europejskich i Unii Europejskiej w krajach trzecich

Abstract

The paper presents external information policy of the European Communities and the European Union, i.e. information and communication activities in countries outside the European Union. Since the beginning of European integration it has been a task of the European Commission and its experiences were analysed in detail. In 2010 the European External Action Service took over the responsibility for external actions. The information policy will present a challenge for it because it does not seem that the Service is better equipped for this task. Additionally, the differences and similarities between internal and
external information policies are explored in order to assess if they can exchange good practices.
