The whole point of my writing a bilingual blog is to try to open up beyond the EU bubble. And believe, it's a lot of work to write in 2 languages. Open up the Council to all citizens to walk freely in its corridors? Yeah right, as if that would ever happen. It's full of ministers there and these people are usually slightly concerned about their physical safety, and rightly so. A final point: I don't want to be a journalist and I don't think bloggers usually want to. It's much more fun to blog ;-) Cosy it is, and indeed there are not many of us but anyone is welcome to join, something we are trying to promote every day in our free time, aside our day jobs.

A number of us answered it there. As you'd see if you had bothered to check, most of us at least partly agree with your point about the Brussels Bubble. But it's open to anyone - if it's cosy, that's only because it's so small (click me to see a recent post about scaling up EU social media). Your comment about 'the great unwashed being allowed into the labyrinth of EU institutions' doesn't hold up to scrutiny. How often do journalists and bloggers and other unwashed people get access to national Cabinet meetings? When was anyone prevented from entering the European Parliament? Totally agree re: the bloggers vs journalists point as a generalisation. It doesn't apply to *all* bloggers and journalists, however - many bloggers aren't wannabe hacks (I'm not), and many journalists blog. The distinction has become meaningless - the discussion regarding 'blogger accreditation' should simply be a discussion about 'accreditation'. @jolyonwagg1, your comment is more or less a copy/paste from your comment on the bloggingportal post covering the same subject (http://www.bloggingportal.eu/blog/pilot-project-blogger-accreditation).

Really sounds like a cozy EU bloggers club to me in reality? How about the EU Council opening there closed doors to there citizens out there that they are supposed to serve? OMG the great unwashed being allowed into the labyrinth of EU institutions? Now that's real transparency that the EU Council would have problems even saying the words, or even thinking about? Sometimes think many EU bloggers are just frustrated want to be journalists at heart; and journalists don't particularly like bloggers,as they feel bloggers are slowly stealing there profession away from them. The truth is the EU institution's need to stop being so close minded with its citizens, and then maybe Europeans would stop disliking the EU?

While my own blogging on EU issues is somewhat constrained at present, it's really good to know that others are out there and now officially able to share what Council decision-making is about. It's important to me because I see it as part of the democratic process which citizens ought to be able to understand, so the more freedom you have to explain, the better. Good stuff, and hope the project continues to do well. hey, congratulations!
