New verbs in the EU: (to) lisbonise


Found in a Council document (page 2):
"This text – already "Lisbonised" – was drafted taking into account the comments made by the delegations during the meeting of the Working Party [...]. COM said it would re-submit in due course a "fully Lisbonised" proposal [...]."
I agree with Kattebel: This eurospeak sounds like a disease - and I suppose that this is how the Council feels having lost power under the Lisbon Treaty.

Welcome to the new European Union - it's "Lisbonised".

PS.: Let's invent more funny verbs that we could propose to the Council and the other institutions - the comments' section is open!
