on the present and future of Europe (brief thoughts)

* The new EU treaty provides the framework for a country to leave the EU, the one in force now (Nice) does not, thus the anti-lobbies should be in favor of the adoption of the new Treaty, right?

* How many people really understand how the EU works? IMO/IME very few!

* IMO the current level of European (EU) integration makes no sense to companies and citizens, what we need is either "more EUrope" or "less"

* Whether the EUropeans want it or not, the EU cannot become a U.S.E. (United States of Europe), because a USE requires a common language! Thus unless a common language evolves, the "USE or not" debate is a non-iss

* How can a EUropean worker operate in the EU or the Eurozone? With a multi-language chip installed in his brain, of course! lol
