It is an attempt by EuroNationalist Socialists to get the world to revolve around a Berlin-Paris axis. The idea was first promoted by Otto von Hapsburg, heir to the Austo-Hungarian empire, who saw it as his only chance to re-establish a European empire dominated by the Germanic people. There is a brief mention of his role in the EU here: http://www.biography.ms/Otto_von_Habsburg.html
Oh my, the Hapsburgs are back and nobody told me. I have to do some reading on this. But if Paris and Berlin want to be the center of the world, they better do something about their unions and labor.
A "non" vote will mean there will be another vote ... then another vote until they finally vote "yes".
