Even though Siberian cold has enveloped Europe for the past few weeks, EP News, the web magazine entirely dedicated to news from the European Parliament, is still looking at aid programmes for the most vulnerable, which finance various food banks and soup kitchens. We we also look at Bill Gates' visit to the European Parliament; he is the Microsoft boss, but also co-president of a development foundation, Graham Watson's comments against deposed dictators' assets in European territories, and also discuss the thorny issue of freedom of the internet and the signing of ACTA by 22 of 27 member states.
