Welcome to the new version of European Tribune. It's just a new layout, so everything should work as before - please report bugs here.

Can I summarize:

  • Boffin signatures are kept limited to those that directly contributed to the letter
  • This being an Open Letter, no press release is needed
  • It is addressed to Piebalgs and Wallstrom, but CCs are also send to MEPs sitting at the affiliated committees, and someone from the Council. Undecided on whether people mass mail the letter other MEPS.
  • No translations need to be made for CCs to national newspapers
  • Bilingual efforts are stepped up with the release of the Energize Europe, which should involve a press release or the like

This is correct?

Yessir! Except point 1. Eurotribbers who've followed this or are interested in energy issues should be able to sign without having directly contributed to the writing.

And "boffin"? I'm signing this as an EU citizen, not as a boffin. It's about democracy, not technology.

<sticks hand up as person who mentioned "boffin">

What I meant was: those who understand the concepts, recipients, language etc. to a level necessary to create a suitably erudite, informed, etc. letter.
