Distracted

Good to see our rulers in Brussels have their eyes firmly on the job in hand.

According to the Parliament.com, EU Budget Commissioner Dalia Grybauskaite is quitting her job to run for the Lithuanian Presidency. Helps to explain why the much-awaited EU budget review, which was due to report "in 2008/2009" is being postponed until October, as we reported this morning. (The bigger reason, no doubt, is the desire to avoid any public debate about the fundamental problems with the budget until the second Irish referendum is safely out the way).

Meanwhile, a seperate article tells us that Latvian MEP Valdis Dombrovskis has been nominated as his country's new prime minister and been asked to form a government.
