Re: European Union: a week in review (none / 0)

This is quite informative, and glad to hear this will be a weekly posting. And also glad (for you) that it isn't too much stuff...this looked like it took some time to put together.

Not a whole lot of time, as I am just copying and pasting from a single document. But there will be more as the night progresses. Now, I don'y know about you but I had not heard about half of the policies mentioned in these items. There seems to be enough unsubstantiated claims on important stuff to keep everyone busy for a while, if you feel so inclined!

Hmm, maybe there should be "ideas", "plans" and "implementing" sections of your post (just joking...)

Well, that took me a total of 5 hours so I definitely cannot do this more than once a week. I don't know how Fran and soj manage, really.

Well, awesome job. You will probably get better at identifying key issues, as time goes by. But even at once a week, this will be a super valuable service. Thanks again...great to be learning about what's going on in Brussels in more detail...

Well, thanks.

The hard part is navigating the EU websites, but you're right, I'm already getting better at this.

Half of this goes on in Strasbourg, not Brussels.

And it keeps you out of the pubs on Saturday night (while he pours another glass of wine...)
