I see that the European Commission is adopting that well-tested method for "simplification", called "let's rewrite all basic definitions in the law from scratch and throw 10 years of court rulings out of the window, so we can start anew!".

#CRA: there are still uncertainties and recurring questions, like the role of the stewards.

They do this to judges. Imagine what they can do against us...
In January, a post I saw shocked me.
“URGENT: As of now, I have ZERO access to any money,” Hüseyin Dogru wrote. “I can’t provide food for my family, including two newborns, due to #EU sanctions.”
Dogru is a journalist, a German citizen living in #Berlin.
After reading his post, I sent him a private message offering to order groceries and have them sent to his home.
The reply shocked me even more. “Unfortunately, I’m not allowed to accept any financial or material support,” Dogru wrote.
Dogru is the first European Union citizen known to be living inside the EU to face extrajudicial sanctions imposed by Brussels – robbing him of fundamental civil and humanitarian rights.
He’s also the first person to be sanctioned specifically for his reporting related to #Palestine.
“I’m not allowed to exist anymore, I’m not allowed to provide my children with the basic necessities,” he explained on The Electronic Intifada Podcast this week.
“I can’t pay my rent, I can’t pay my lawyers and yes – I’m not even allowed to accept any kind of food, water or medicine whatsoever from third parties.”

Hi Everyone.
I'm #NewHere and am enjoying #Brussels despite the wet.
I'd love to have some suggestions of people to follow in #photography #EUPolicy and #foss
I will (probably) post photos mostly (whenever I remember to actually choose and edit the good ones) and the rest is yet to be discovered...

So cool to see @lea_bei (@zendis ), Emma Ghariani (@numerique_gouv ) and Aditya Singh (@openfuture ) give a great talk about the governance structure of the European Digital Infrastructure Consortium (EDIC) 🇪🇺
The EDIC is the place where EU member states work together on Digital Commons, such as the opensource workspaces LaSuite 🇲🇫, OpenDesk 🇩🇪, and MijnBureau 🇳🇱.

Speaking of cool!! We have a European POWERHOUSE of open source procurement experts on stage at the EU Policy devroom! 🇧🇪🇫🇷🇩🇪🇳🇱🇩🇰
Procurement sounds *hella boring*, but it's the biggest bottleneck right now for governments wanting to use opensource.

I love how many times #Drupal has been called out at the EU Open Source Summit this year. We're half-way through this great @openforumeurope.org tradition, but in so many ways the Drupal community's governance model is an important one for #DigitalSovereignty & #OpenSource #EUpolicy #FOSDEM
