These are some of the journalists impressions of the summit meeting. Per Wendel, Expressen , attending his 30th EU summit. It s well organised, well designed and neat. But there s no political excitement. The conflicts were cleared out of the way in advance.
Journalists are a spoilt species.
On the other hand the food is well hidden, last night a lot of people didn t find their way to the buffet. The actual meeting is not covering very exciting issues. But I do think Sweden has great credibility when it comes to making progress in EU cooperation in such issues as employment and the environment. We tried to interview the President of the European Parliament, Nicole Fontaine, but the interview was cancelled twice. I interviewed the Secretary-General instead.
