#3This is common knowledge for ages, good to see it properly proven.
However, it seems there's something else at play here when you realize Juncker has just started his term as European Comission president, and the TTIP deals going on. It seems fishy that this only appears now and with such fanfare.

You are mixing up two persons: Jean-Claude Juncker is starting his term as the European Comission president. Jean-Claude Trichet was president of the ECB.

Yes of course, that's what I meant. I edited the original post.

#7Help! On another, similar article, they have used one of my pictures, with me and my wife in it - http://www.euractiv.com/sections/competition/luxembourg-tax-...
The only reason I think is because it was taken in front of the Amazon office in Luxembourg.
Any suggestion on how to ask for removal, and possibly compensation for damage?

Tweet them: https://twitter.com/euractiv and https://twitter.com/DominiqueOstyn
EDIT: Interesting that people are downvoting a simple "talk to them, here's how" comment. Before going all litigious and looking up the specifics of fair use for various licenses, what exactly is wrong with asking them nicely?

The image you are talking about appears to be: http://www.flickr.com/photos/25012939@N03/4196459317 on that image it says: "Some rights reserved" and when you click through you are taken to https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/
So, it appears you have the photograph available on the Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0 Generic Creative Commons license. The original story using your picture is attributing it to you. So it appears to me that they've done nothing wrong.
If you want to ask them not to use it then there's a contact page: http://www.euractiv.com/contact

What license did you choose for your photographs on Flickr? If you chose a Creative Commons Attribution license without further restrictions, you don't really have any grounds to complain, though of course you can still ask nicely to have it removed.
If they are actually violating the license terms, the best idea is still to first ask nicely. If they don't comply, you can sue.
"compensation for damage" you can pretty much forget about unless you can prove actual damages.
