     @gert And €0 for the Small Web.

     @gert ‘Euractiv understands that this delay was because Margrethe Vestager, formerly in charge of the EU competition department, was not fully convinced by the project.

     However, her portfolio was taken over by Justice Commissioner Didier Reynders in September, as Vestager took unpaid leave to compete as a candidate for the top post of the European Investment Bank.’

     And some folks thought she was some kind of hero – champion of the little guy or something.

     *smh*
