tomo, from your Wikipedia link:
"In 2014, Selmayr became the campaign director for Jean-Claude Juncker during his candidacy for President of the European Commission, and he subsequently became head of the Juncker transition team and head of cabinet to the President of the European Commission when Juncker took office.[3] Media reports suggest Selmayr is a very influential figure in EU politics, with Politico describing him as "the most powerful EU chief of staff ever" in November 2016 and noting that even Juncker jokingly refers to him by the nickname "the monster."[4]Tomáš Prouza, the Czech state secretary for European affairs said “when I need a decision to be taken on any file, I talk to Martin"
What Wikipedia does not mention, is that somebody had to be working flat out, when Juncker was flat out.

Quick Question
Is there a definitive work exposing the flaws of the Stern Report ?

Yes, Stern presumed Mann was correct.

It seems to be largely unremarked - but Martin Schultz has spiraled down in smoke from the EU political sky - I had him pinned as a more difficult character than the drunken wiretapping Luxembourger crook.
We don't hear nearly enough of what Junker's "Sir Humphrey" Martin Selmayr is up to... after all his hand is working Monsieur Barnier 's mouth - non?

Junckers denies that he plots to raid tax revenues.... nah ...nope ...never .. Just the piggie banks. I put it in a SAFE GERMAN place ...that can be trusted ...you understand.

The European Union has [may have] backed down from its plans to insert a ‘punishment clause’ into its Brexit deal with the United Kingdom
The desire for UK Money emphasised again.
PM May, as Dyson et al have said we hold the upper hand, stop appeasing EU bullies. Do what they fear and walk away.
Pcar
Was driving down a dual carriageway yesterday when I approached and passed a car pulled over and parked on a narrowed soft shoulder. Driver still in car, so my thoughts went - probably not a breakdown, ah yes pulled over to take/make a telephone call, silly sod, dangerous. But as I left the car behind, I suddenly thought -wait a minute, there could be all sorts of reason why the car pulled over, including some quite serious (driver had heart attack...). Then I thought, wonder if climate science has done something similar - temperatures have been rising and CO2 is a greenhouse gas - anthropogenic CO2 is the cause of the temperature rise and stopped considering other possibilities. We humans commonly don't delve deeper and willingly accept the first explanation that seems to fit.
