Fed: EU chastises ABC over Brussels bureau closure
The European Union has chastised the ABC for closing its bureau in Brussels.
The European Commission's ambassador to Australia and New Zealand, PIERGIORGIO MAZZOCCHI,
says it's disappointing the ABC has decided to close its Brussels bureau last week.
He says Australia now has no media representation in the EU's headquarters.
Mr MAZZOCHCHI says there are more than 1000 journalists accredited to the EU press
room, and now not a single one is an Australian correspondent.
He says the European Union is Australia's largest economic partner and it's is set
to undergo its greatest transformation yet by enlargement into a 25-nation entity.
