July 2023 the European Commission published a Communication on
virtual worlds and Web 4.0. And as publications by the EU are
usually long, complicated and have a history of its own, it was
good that Patrick Grady published a short summary on his blog
Metaverse EU to explain how the Communication can be
understood. In it the EU outlines a strategy about how to take

have called Metaverse in 2022. But the Communication uses the
