But, since you wrote (11/2007) that EUObserver has a "fair editorial line", I've got the feeling of a slide to a less Europe-friendly slant, an increasingly pervasive house style that sometimes feels like one is reading AP (possible, of course), some kind of British press on Europe, or even almost the English-language pages of Spiegel.
I'm also a bit surprised by this headline, as this is a story of a conflict between two EU institutions which they framed as being a blowback for Europe. I'd think they'd be a bit more interested in civil rights as opposed to European regulation. But maybe here something like war on terrah rules apply?
