Mr Clegg and TRACECA[edit]

Mr Clegg wasn"t the initiator of TRACECA and not the initiator of the 93" TRACECA conference The first conference was organised by Mr GONTIER and chaired by Commissioner Van Den Broeck in Brussels 3rd of May 1993. In this time Mr Clegg was not in charge for TRACECA.

Mr Clegg strated to be in charge of TRACECA only end of 1994 and leave the TRACECA programme in June 1995 just enough time for him to start a "comprehensible" court case against Mr Gontier.

The working group of Tashkent was organised several months later by a team of experts working for the Company TRACTEBEL (this team was lead by Mr Battersby), Mr Clegg took part of the meeting. This meeting has never been recognised as official TRACECA Meeting.

Mr Clegg was clearly not interested by TRACECA or any programme developped within TACIS, he handed over the programme to Mr Stroobants in June 95.

I met him only once in August 1995, try to speak with him about TRACECA, but it was these last days before to join the team of Mr Britain, and he was not really cooperative.

I have sticly nothing against him, and I am sincverely impressed by hi career, but to link TRACECA to Mr Clegg like its presented, seems to be a bit too much !!!

Edit warring by 93.96.165.179[edit]

User:93.96.165.179 has been edit-warring on this article repeatedly over the past hour. Can we move the discussion here instead? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zachlipton (talk • contribs) 08:24, 12 May 2010‎ (UTC)[reply]

Denial of Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections[edit]

The statement,

In June 2019, Clegg said there was "absolutely no evidence" that Russia had influenced the outcome of the EU referendum using Facebook. He said that the company was working towards greater regulation of technology firms.

should be balanced by adding a clause such as, 'in spite of findings to the contrary' and links, such as to the substantial article, Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections.

New Picture?[edit]

Why is there a new picture? When did we decide and Where? RealTaxiDriver (talk) 18:15, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Unrelated to this new picture, but I updated his photo to be one from 2023, since the previous photo was 12 years out of date. Seems more appropriate to capture individuals in as most accurate and recent ways as possible ways. If you disagree, I can understand, and I'd not have too strong an opposition to reverting the change. DougDommadome (talk) 20:45, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think as with many Politicians we should have a picture of when they held office for instance how Gordon Brown has a picture of him in office when he was in office despite pictures when he left office being published. RealTaxiDriver (talk) 20:24, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As he has gone on to do other notable things - especially at such a big company as FaceBook - I think it should be an updated photo. Brown hasn't done anything like that. Either way I think the current portrait isn't particularly good and another should be found for Clegg. Fm675 (talk) 00:21, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
