<div>afaik Europolit isn't focused on pirate issues. Also, if I understand it well, it will just aggregate material from other websites/blogs centered on european politics (not unlike the very good <a href="http://bloggingportal.eu">bloggingportal.eu</a>).</div>
<div>I think the concept that Mikko described has alot of potential and could be looked into. I offer my help to translate material from english to french (and vice versa). If we are to discuss this further however, I suggest we create a separate mailing list that anyone interested in this project could join, to help focus discussions and not "pollute" the general mailing list (I'm thinking in particular about non-european pirates).</div>

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