The European Commission has a new blogger

Stavros Dimas, European Commissioner for Environment has started his own blog. This makes a total of 5 Commissioners who joined the blogosphere so far.

Time to look on their blogs to see how often they write on it. You can see the results in the following table.

Commissioner	Topic area	Number of posts in 2007
Margot Wallström	Communication	49
Janez Potocnik	Research	17
Vladimír Spidla	Employment / Social affirs	17
Mariann Fischer Boel	Agriculture	14
Stavros Dimas	Environment	1 (new blog)

The figures show that, on average, the Commissioners blog about every two to three weeks. With the exception of the Commissioner for Communication, Margot Wallström, who posts a new article more or less every 5 days.

While the fact that Commissioners have their own blogs is already positive, their blog posts certainly have to become more frequent .... and sometimes also more interesting :-)
