You sound like a technocrat working for the monster the EU.
Nope. I´m just a citizen of a EU member, thus enjoying the good things of a united Europe, e.g. shopping with the same currency in Paris, Rome or Amsterdam, travelling freely through the Schengen states, and I don´t need a passport (a valid ID is enough), I may settle and work in each EU member state - and even vote for the mayor and city council there (as a foreigner!). We´re no longer enemies, but working togethe for a better Europe, a Europe that knows that we can only meet the challenges of a growing Asia / the globalization. I´m far from being a blind EU sympathizer, but I can distinguish between the bad and good. I´m quite satisfied with the new EU reform treaty. It´s not a constitution, because we ain´t no super-state, and that´s a good thing. But it´s a reform of the EU, which desperately needs more influence of the EU parliament and less power for the commission.
