European Council usurps powers
of governments
The Bruges Group has today pointed out that the European Council has,
in effect carried out a coup d��tat in the European Union by usurping
the powers of the member states� governments.
In its conclusions and attached documents, the European Council has issued a
mandate to the Inter-Governmental Conference, something it has no
right to do.
New treaties in the European Union have to be negotiated by the member states�
governments and their representatives not by the European Council, which is an
institution of the European Union. |  |
Reform
Treaty to revive EU Constitution
Referring directly to the once thought dead EU Constitution the IGC
mandate agreement, under the guise of bringing forth a new treaty to reform
the EU, will bring in the key aspects contained in the Constitution that were
rejected in the French and Dutch referenda.
This will lead to the surrendering of a substantial amount of power to
Brussels. If this agreement comes into force it will hand over more than twice
the number of powers given away at Maastricht and over five times the number
needed for the creation of the Single Market. Blair�s red lines were obviously
as effective as the Maginot Line |
