Too many questions are nationally oriented or putting forward issues that are not on the EP to decide.<br /><br />This is distorting the EU-nature of the elections, and I am about to recommend to "boycott" (ignore) this tool because of that.Julien Frischhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18167141111642456560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-492174345240444269.post-61599415935263023222009-04-24T14:23:00.000+02:002009-04-24T14:23:00.000+02:00EU-profiler is now available on the Euranet websit...EU-profiler is now available on the Euranet website: <br /><br />http://www.euranet.eu/eng/content/view/full/15025<br /><br />Nice feature, a bit like a Online-game.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />TorstenTorsten Spieshttp://www.euranet.eunoreply@blogger.com
