The European Union advances to my favorite topic, as it seems. I just can't help exploring what hilarious ways are tought out by eurocrats to wast our tax money.
So basically this time the EU has noticed that current programms are becoming to complex for anyone who adminsters them to understand. Frankly speaking, what do you do if you don't understand anymore what you are doing? For my part I'd go for reducing complexity. But this plan is probably too straightforward...
Thus if you're the European Union and you're running three programs to spread money according to some arbitrary but highly sophisticated rules, and this doesnt work, you naturally opt for establishing a fourth program which adminsters the other three.
This has several advantages to it
1. you can hire more staff - everyone will think because you're expanding it's a big success
2. as a eurocrat, you probably get a rise because more people report to you
3. you make yourself irreplacable: complex stuff needs to be taken care of..
...and probably lots of other good points...
For all the details check out the Spiegel article.
