It is a server management, patch management, content management, and etc.. i can imagine that isn't as cheap as you think, done by EU employees that are normally well paid.

  Their staff is around 32k. people. But still server maintenance, content management, etc.. I would love to know how much such services costs to us.

I live in Brussels and have many friends in the EU bubble. EU employees are not as well paid as you think. The main perk has to do with how they’re taxed which is greatly advantageous and makes their salary look higher than most peers.

  Well, they are well paid if you analyze their output. I worked there. I know how goal oriented they are.

  Probably you pasted the link without inspect it. I,however, read it and the information of how much such service costs isn't anywhere to find..or could point us out where did you find this information?

EU is always very transparent in general. How many time did you spend to search the answer to this question before saying "would be nice if EU was transparent enough to tell us how much it costs" ?
- pelasaco 4y ago
  Yes I did. Did you?

    Yes and I found the budget of the edps (the institution that manage EU voice, https://eur-lex.europa.eu/budget/data/General/2022/en/SEC09.pdf https://eur-lex.europa.eu/budget/data/General/2022/en/SEC09....) the split is not made by projects but we have page 30 "800000€" for all "Information technology equipment and services". But you can probably directly ask them more details if you want : https://edps.europa.eu/about/transparency/public-access-documents-register_en https://edps.europa.eu/about/transparency/public-access-docu...

      Yup, as i stated, the answer are not there in the documents. For sure the maintenance of that service comes from the 850k/year, which is a lot of money for the amount of stuff that they do. thank you!
