Brussels hits YouTube
The European Commission has jumped on the video-sharing bandwagon by
opening a page on the YouTube website to spread its audiovisual
messages. The EU homepage – www.youtube.com/EUtube - will officially be
launched on Friday (29 June) under plans by EU communication
commissioner Margot Wallstrom. ‘We have audiovisual material on our own
website,’ commission spokesman Mikolaj Dowgielewicz told EUobserver.
‘But people don't know it exists,’ he added, explaining that that is one
of the main reasons for setting up the YouTube channel. The official
said the EUtube channel will be multilingual and videos in different
languages will be online in the weeks ahead, despite the mainly
English-speaking videos to be found on the site so far. The new
cyberspace move will not cost the EU extra money, as only existing
material will be added to the YouTube website for the time being.
Meanwhile, viewers will be able to post their comments on the EU
offerings.
