Thats nice..... What was the EU all about in the first place..... it was meant to unite Europe and cause positive reaction thru europe.......it has turned into one big homeginized mess of greed, power and anger. This has turned into just a battle on the playground of bullies and who is going to get the upper hand..... I hope the whole thing goes down the toilet!

"...The original agreement by France and Germany to pool the raw materials of war, iron and steel, was the idea of far-sighted Frenchmen like Jean Monnet and Robert Schuman.
They realised that three wars between the two countries since 1870 was enough and that Europe now required co-operation not confrontation.
The Coal and Steel Community grew into the Common Market, then into the European Community and finally into the European Union. ..."
It should have stopped with the European Community, which was based on trading between the nations. Getting into a unified currency and handing over law-making to another state was perhaps a step too far. Or too premature. Some groups were working hard on forming a defence coalition to rival NATO, perhaps more like a common European Army.
Cooperation at this level will almost definately fall apart in the future, when the nations have a falling out.
