Margot Wallström, the European Union's Communications Commissioner, yesterday asked the media how they could "improve co-operation" and help to "put across the exciting reality of the EU."
One of her own ideas was to make a reality soap showing how the EU works on a day-to-day basis. The mind boggles. The blog is sure that Commissioner Peter Mandelson, for one, would be delighted to star in such a circus. But Margot was quick to reassure sinking hearts that the Commission would not itself pay to produce such a programme. In fact, she was notably punctilious about maintaining that her job and the media's are separate, and have separate ends in view. Good to hear that this topic preoccupies the Commissioner so.
