I remember, during the german Heat Pump Saga (the Ampel government passing legislation that effectively outlawed installation of new oil and gas heaters and tried to move everyone to heat pumps), there was a minor subplot where journalists found out that the Green party themselves couldn't successfully install a heat pump in their headquarters.

So in the interest of legitimacy, the EU institutions should really fix that and remove the banners from their sites.

I won't shittalk much, but i had to "lobby" around the time GDPR was in the work, probably right after the vote, but before it was implemented (it was more to discuss about hosting health data, HDS in french), and it came up because the CNIL guys were here too (french watchdog tasked to implement most of GDPR in france. Basically EU draft laws, but each country decide how they apply). While the technical guy were extremely competent (surprisingly so, i think he might one of the 3 engineer i've discussed with who impressed me the most, and i've talked with someone who worked on netscape and firefox in the 90s, as well as the man behind scikit-learn). i got the distinct impression that no one understood the law, even (very surprisingly also) lawyers, and it felt really, really weird. Also they didn't seems to understand why it was important (part of our speech was based on the GDPR and the reason it existed)

In the end i think Azure got to host of all French health data a year later despite the lobbying. Maybe with how the US look with Trump at the helm it will change (to be clear, it was a really weird lobbying in any case, our project was to test pseudonymation algorithms (and probably others) made by our researchers on our platform before selling them to scaleway or OVH depending on who won the project)
