Was setzen wir dem #Gesetzekapern durch Konzerne entgegen? Heute um 18:30 Debatte in der ständigen Vertretung Österreichs in Brüssel, mit #SusanGeorge von @TNInstitute , @AnaGomesMeP, Mariana Prats, @OECD, Paul de Clerck von @ALTEREU und Frank Ey von der @Arbeiterkammer Wien. 
Zahlreiche Elemente sorgen für #gesetzekapern: wenig öffentliche Aufmerksamkeit, Macht der Konzerne durch Jobs und "Expertise", Seitenwechsel, langfristig privilegierte Zugänge und vieles mehr.
Olivier Hoedeman, @corporateeurope: Deutsche Bundesregierung hat es auch nach #Dieselgate nicht geschafft, sich von der #Automobilindustrie zu befreien. Schützt Autolobby in Brüssel vor schärferen Regeln statt sich um saubere Luft für die Allgemeinheit zu bemühen. #gesetzekapern
#Dieselgate saved the German car industry and forced it to go electric. New Audi e-tron SUV for US market arrives shortly. theverge.com/2018/9/19/1787…

1/In the 'you gotta be kiddin' me" department: Politico is reporting that voting computer vendor ES&S is asking for a congressional investigation of the DEFCON election hacking village.

1/ I'm slowly getting back into #Brexit stuff after time off in the last week or so.
I'm starting with David Davis's Telegraph piece from a couple of days ago: telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/01/0…
A quick thread about it.

2/ The title is interesting - it is: "How we will deliver the best Brexit in 2018". Davis's piece does not come close to answering that. The piece would more accurately be entitled "What I think the best Brexit looks like in 2018 (without asking the EU what they'd accept)"
3/ There's a bit of nerdy stuff at the start. I quote: "Donald Tusk has approved an immediate start to initial discussions on the future relationship (...) talks about the implementation period begin early in the New Year" I assume he means "Transition Period"?
