What has made it clear that he actually writes it ?

There is no evidence to suggest he doesn't write the entries himself.

I'm not so sure. I wouldn't be suprised if it's a group effort - he lays out some talking points, a staffer fills in the details, he does a final revision.

They're substantial, structured posts with quite a bit of background, and would probably take a couple of hours to write from scratch. I'd be surprised if he feels he has that kind of time to spare on a blog which will only ever be a minority interest.

The lack of feedback and interaction is another give-away - it looks like push-blogging, not engagement blogging.

Well, you're right that the entire http://blogs.ec.europa.eu/ site reads like a collection of press releases written in a more personal style.
