[Steffen Ortmann]

Today I stumbled over a website that seems to aim at
providing those infos about EU parliament ...
They want to go online this month or the next in
german and english. I guess it would be interesting
to find out what exactly they are up to and if and how
we want to support them?

Their Twitter:

And the website:
http://www.europolit.net

Steffen
