"The hitchhiker’s guide to European Union jargon
August 13th, 2008 - 9:28 am ICT by IANS

Brussels, Aug 13 (DPA) The problem with trying to understand European Union (EU) jargon is that half the time you need a political dictionary, and the other half you need a map.

The problem is that the nicknames almost never come with footnotes, leaving the unsuspecting visitor drowning in a sea of place-names."
