I just read an interview with Christian Engström, the deputy leader of the Swedish Pirate Party. He is a newly elected MEP who has recently arrived in Brussels.

I really liked his respectful critique of Europe’s communication strategy. The EU has for sure done a lot of “pushing” information online. It throws documents on to Europa.eu left and right without any organization. It’s a nightmare trying to find specific information there.

Worse, the EU seems to do a horrible job of “pulling” people into its information sphere. It is not very good at participating consistently in the conversation that is the Internet.

Hopefully the Pirate Party will be able to position itself to influence Europe’s communication strategies.
