Editor Dennis Abbott said: “We are delighted for Peter. No one deserves this award more. He’s produced a series of top-notch interviews with leading EU policy-makers and is one of the few journalists around who can make subjects like harmonisation, liberalisation and the single market appeal beyond the Brussels beltway. His interview with Claudia Schiffer on the harmonisation of clothes sizes certainly sticks in the mind.”
Chapman said: “I am very proud. And while I am not sure I am actually the best journalist in Brussels, I am not giving the award back.”
Runners-up were Brandon Mitchener of The Wall Street Journal Europe and Fernando Riccardi of Agence Europe.
