About this site

The Read-Out delivers a structured transcript of the European Commission's daily midday press briefing, sent to your inbox within an hour of the briefing ending.

Every weekday at noon, the Commission's spokespeople take questions from the press on the full range of EU policy.

The Read-Out captures the audio, transcribes it, and structures it clearly so you can read it in minutes rather than watch it for an hour.

What you get: A structured transcript distinguishing questions from answers delivered by email, free of charge.

Transcripts are AI-generated and may contain errors. They are provided for reference only and should be verified before direct quotation.
