    Lies on consequences of no vote from German MEP

    Jo Leinen is at it again. Circulating fictions about a two-tier europe, the loss of the "protective umbrella" of the EU and being isolated and not integrated into the EU.
    Quick lesson joe. Treaty change by unanimity. Enhanced cooperation on foreign and security policy impossible. Creating new energy competences must be by unanimity.

    Really? My understanding was that this was provided for already in Nice. The Council can decide by unanimity to allow a smaller group of states use the enhanced cooperation procedure to act on CFSP.
    Thanks to the poster who taught me to use the ignore list!

    Much of what was ever raised about Lisbon by the No campaigns was in Nice.
    Never let the best be the enemy of the good.

    Much of what was ever raised about Lisbon by the yes campaigns was meaningless fluff and platitudinous nonsense.

    Or, in other words, possible under Nice.

    So, is this yet another tiresome thread, devoid of substance?

    ES will you please change your stupid signature? At least take out that numpf about fisheries. It really gets my goat.
