To explore the strategies by which Europe can increase its commitment in Iraq and make a constructive difference, the Center on the US and Europe at the Brookings Institution and the Heinrich Böll StiftungNorth America (HBS) convened a workshop in April 2009 featuring a distinguished group of European, American and Iraqi experts who cover Iraq and nation-building issues to discuss the conclusions of a study commissioned by the HBS and entitled "What can Europe do for Iraq? Recommendations for a New U.S.-European Collaboration". During the workshop sessions, the panelists and participants endorsed many of the study’s observations and recommendations. Furthermore, the participants reached a number of additional conclusions regarding European support for Iraq. This paper summarizes the consolidated advice advocated by the workshop participants.
