Does the EU-Commission use Google Analytics?

From a European Union Commission website:


$(document).ready(function() {
// If Google Analytics used, also track document downloads as Pageviews
$("a[href*='document.cfm']").bind('click',function(){
try {
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-3076907-3");
pageTracker._trackPageview(this.pathname + this.search);
//console.log('tracked ' + this.href);
} catch (err) {
//console.log(err)
}
});
if (location.hash == '') {
$('form[name!=commentform][name!=searchForm][name!=itemcall]:not(form[name^=rating]):first *:input[type=text]:first').focus();
}
$('form[name=identification] *:input[type!=hidden]:first').focus();
/* REVIEW: DOES NOT WORK IN IE6 (no form submission at all!!)
$('input[type=submit]').click(function() {
var self = this;
$(self).attr('disabled','disabled');
setTimeout(function() {$(self).removeAttr('disabled')},5000);
});
*/

And if so, does this constitute a national security risk? I am just asking because even in private sector operations often passionate citizens approach us with concerns when we use Google Analytics. I am curious if the European Data Protection Supervisor website also uses Google Analytics…
