[QUOTE]Originally posted by Wraith: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Harry: [qb] Well, a pop-art collage in a circus tent hardly constitutes official EU policy. This is just part of the Dutch government's plan to do something about the EU's stuffy boring image. But I doubt the effectiveness of a lone circus-tent filled with photos in Brussels. So, uhm, basically, everything you just quoted comes from a Dutch architect and reflect his personal/artistic opinion on the future of the Union. And I'm sure the EU can use some 'forceful images', because a lot of people (especially in the UK and Scandinavia) don't think very highly of Brussels. [/qb][/QUOTE]I realised that! It was just so amusing I had to post it. Hopefully, the EU will be completely restructured soon. The present system is, frankly, crap. It's inefficient and intolerant of any opposition (Look at the whistleblowers in Eurostat and the Commission who were fired, and that Belgian journalist who was locked up and his contacts confiscated (without being charged)). The dominace of France and Germany is particularly irritating. There are more problems than just a lack of unified foreign policy; the radical differences between the inquisitional and accusational legal systems (notably between the UK/Ireland and the Continent) is a substantial problem for federalists. As is the integration of armed forces (which will hopefully never happen), the differing attitudes to matters such as ID cards and so on and so on. [/QB][/QUOTE]
