My Interests outside work
My children.
Sport in general with a genuine passion for kitesurf and to a lesser extend cycling – in fact all adrenaline-enhancing stuff as long as speed and emotions are provided by nature or one’s body.
Next step: film scriptwriter focused on the Brussels bubble (as my humble contribution to making the EU a more tangible thing).
My Favourite Brussels anecdote
Being told by officials from a non-EU country the results of an EU meeting that had not yet taken place. That happened more than once. Just fascinating!
