The German Times, a German published English-language monthly, was launched today. It targets all of Europe’s political and economic elites.

Executive editor Theo Sommer will distribute the first copy today to the new President of the European Parliament, Hans-Gert Poettering.

"We want to accompany Europe's coalescence, in that we are creating a medium from Germany for all of Europe," says Editor in Chief Bruno Waltert.

Its circulation is 50,000 and it will be distributed to all 7265 members of the parliaments of the EU’s 27 States, as well as national governments, members of the European Parliament, the EU Commission, and Europe’s prominent businessmen.

"Our aim is to inform not just about Germany, German viewpoints and interests, but also to provide a platform to well-known journalists from all of Europe," said one of the Times’ columnists.
