Europe Holds First Bureaucracy Olympics Contest

The first European Bureaucracy Olympics was in Brussels. Officials from 27 countries took part in the event. They competed in doing paperwork and filling forms.

The organizers said the contest showed the EU spirit. They think it will be in 2025. The event got 700 million euros and a new department.

The games were like a play-off. One round was a quiz about EU laws. Teams showed projects for a useless, big ministry.

France had a ministry for adapting natives. It was for a 'new religious majority'. Germany showed a ministry for all the other ministries.

The judges liked the German team best. They won the competition. To get their prize, they must do 22 steps and get approvals.
