"Not, as William said, because we want British nationals in Brussels simply to push the United Kingdom's own view. Every civil servant employed by the EU is expected to work loyally and independently for the EU and that is how it should be and I wouldnt expect any British citizen working there to be any more partisan than a European official coming from any other European member state."
The Communicating EU Careers to Students event took place at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office on Monday 18 October 2010. The event brought together representatives from universities across the UK, and provided a forum for discussion around the subject of how to encourage more British graduates to consider careers in the European Union Institutions.
The British Government is committed to increasing the number of British nationals working in the EU Institutions. The FCO is working with other government departments to try and encourage more young British graduates to consider the EU as a career option.
There really is no excuse for people continuing to believe this government's EU spin.
I'll bet the EU is "crying out for British staff", GV - particularly young British people, who can be moulded and bribed to put the interests of the EU before those of their countrymen.
ReplyDeleteHi Fausty - glad to see you're up and around again. As for the eu, it must be patently obvious by now to anyone with half a brain cell that none of the 3 main parties have the slightest intention of giving a referendum on anything of any consequence.
