(If you are in a position to answer), this seems like something EU civil 
society should get more focussed on:

*) Is there an official channel (web page? email?) for individuals to 
complain about this policy ? (there's only a general email here 
<http://ec.europa.eu/dgs/informatics/contact/index_en.htm> and 
@stephen_quest <https://twitter.com/stephen_quest> did not answer me)

*) does this fall under DIGIT A/B/C (not obvious)?

*) has DG DIGIT made any official public statement so far about Tor 
blocking (apart from this 
<https://p10.secure.hostingprod.com/@spyblog.org.uk/ssl/spyblog/2013/02/08/the-great-firewall-of-europe---european-commission-website-blocks-tor-users-just.html>)?

many thanks
