How many digital commissioners does it take to change a lightbulb? 13!

Andrus Ansip, Europe’s new super-commissioner for all things digital, invited 13 European Commissioners to his first meeting of Project Digital Single Market on Wednesday. That’s half the Commission!

Would "digital for agriculture" ecompass animal health sensors, robotic crop machinary and other agri technologies?

Re: argi

Certainly would. Farming can be quite a hi-tech business these days.

Newspeak.....

The world needs a law against the use of "Newspeak". Let's burn them at the stake, please.

Lets also include all those who score high on the Buzzword Bingo sector as well.

Re: Newspeak.....

Does anyone else have "use of leverage as a verb" on their bingo cards? Its quite an easy one to mark off these days.

13? No way !

No no no. the title is misleading. the 13 commissioners had an interdepartmental preliminary long term policy impact assessment meeting leading to the scheduling of a series of requirement elicitation processes with the view to elaborate a coordinated action plan in order to prepare a full blown procurement exercise which will identify which subcontractor will provide the best value for money and bring additional no quantifiable benefits to the european community - as a whole - while he screws a new lightbulb in place.!!! That's why it costs a few million pounds and takes 5 years to get a light bulb changed in Brussels :-)

Re: 13? No way !

You forgot the comprehensive lightbulb installation risk assessment...

13 comissioners

That'll be 1 to hold the bulb still and 12 to turn the room around then.
