I already announced that the European Union was celebrating its 50th anniversary. In another article, I also mentionned that EU had its own YouTube channel.
Here is a short movie that reminds Europe's history.

EU in YouTube
By Quetzal on Thursday 26 July 2007, 22:08 - Technology
The European Union has launched its own YouTube channel. This way, it will be able to promote some of its actions through short movies. I personnally think it is a good initiative because some European citizens feel the European Union is a lot of bureaucracy and nothing concrete. However, what will be the real impact of this:
- who knows that this account exists in YouTube?
- what is the ratio of persons watching movies through YouTube on the Internet vs watching TV programs?
I guess it is cheaper to broadcast these films this way.
Here are the movies I have chosen to illustrate this post.
Dealing with AIDS
One of a film series promoting EU financial aids towards producers
About research programs
There are more videos on other topics like roaming, global warming... Check them out here.

Happy Birthday to EU!
By Quetzal on Sunday 25 March 2007, 01:00 - News
Through this post, I would like to congratulate the European Union for its 50 years! It was in 1957 that the Rome treaty established the European Economic Community which became the current EU.
At the beginning, Henrik can remember this, I was not really in favor of Europe. When I arrived in France, I could observe daily implications of this Union, and I changed my mind. I love discovering new cultures and I am really excited when meeting people at the university coming from all over Europe. We can travel freely, share a money, a parliament... I really enjoy it!
I am disappointed to see that currently in France, a lot of people are deceived by the EU. I hope this day of celebrations could make things better in their mind by showing all that is brought by this alliance.
Here are some links:
- The European Union portal
- The website dedicated to the birthday.
