Competition! I arrived in Brussels quite early this morning. It still feels slightly odd to board an airplane on this date. There will be a few meetings and later, I will present the new publication "What Competition Has Done For Europe" (European Enterprise Institute).

I met an old friend, Anders Selnes, Editor of Europaportalen. A very extensive project, a web site compiling most news about the EU and having high-level debates (in Swedish). He did an interview for tomorrow′s edition.

Concerning competition, I noticed in the FT that Angela Merkel and Nicolas Sarkozy have had a meeting in Berlin. They agreed to push for other countries to open their markets, which is important. But it is even quicker to start at home.
