Speech lauding record year under Brussels (6)
I believe the answer is:
eulogy
'speech' is the definition.
(speech at a funeral)
'record year under brussels' is the wordplay.
'record' becomes 'log' (log is a kind of record).
'year' becomes 'y'.
'under' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'brussels' becomes 'EU' (European Parliament is based in Brussels).
'log'+'y'='logy'
'logy' put after 'eu' is 'EULOGY'.
'lauding' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. It may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eulogy that I've seen before include "Expression of praise for someone recently dead" , "Accolade" , "Speech or piece of writing that praises highly" , "Panegyric" , "Formally expressed praise" .)
