Dear colleagues,
UK Eurotalk members may have noticed this item in
The Times on May 5th (News section, page 6):
"The Government has forced the European Commission to
abandon plans to open European information centres across
Britain because it believes that they could be construed as
propaganda in the run-up to the referendum on the European
constitution next year."
The article about the new Europe Direct network mentions
"five small-scale EU information points around Britain"
without any reference to the EDC, EIC and EPIC networks.
Perhaps a joint reply from the EIA would be in order. A
clarification from the UK Office would also be welcome.
Best wishes and Happy Europe Day!
Patrick Overy
