Considering the body that has legislative initiative, the Commission, is answerable to and, in the case of the President, elected by Parliament (they must approve all other members) and the Parliament has indirect initiative meaning they can ask (more like tell) the Commission to put forth legislation, I again think you may have the wrong idea.

So you think they should be making laws for member nations? Over 55% of British laws come from the EU. The Brits can't change them. They actually pay money to allow the EU to lord over them.

That's a mighty red herring you've got there. You should look back in the thread for my opinion on the status of the EU right now.

I mean, they are overstepping their bounds in my opinion, but the treaties that have been signed show the EU has evolved into a different being than it's predecessor at the end of WWII RE: EU countries not allowed to detain illegal migrants - StLucieBengal - 06-09-2016 (06-09-2016, 08:58 PM)Belsnickel Wrote: The predecessor to the EU, yes, but subsequent treaties made them into something else.

The French and Dutch opposed the constitution yet the EU snuck in through the back door via the Lisbon Treaty.

And it wasn't just Lisbon, there were a total of four treaties leading up to Lisbon, each adding layers to what would become the EU.

Thus showing that the EU is out of control and should be disbanded.

I think more of an evaluation and adjustment needs to be made. Breaking the EU up would end up being detrimental to the region economically and politically. The UK had never fully bought into the EU, it's why they aren't a Eurozone country. They like to look back rather than forward whereas the countries that are all in don't look back in history with fond nostalgia for a number of reasons. The UK (along with France and Spain to lesser extents) likes to look fondly on the days of colonialism, which the other countries just don't have fond memories of. Some of them want to move forward but they are trying to drag some others along kicking and screaming and that is where the issues come about. It's no secret I am a fan of some more European models for things, but the fact is that the EU is about easier commerce, easier diplomacy, and easier cooperation. Trying to drag countries into a more progressive path just creates animosity and works counter to those aims. RE: EU countries not allowed to detain illegal migrants - Belsnickel - 06-10-2016 So this is as good a place as any for this: http://www.spiegel.de/international/europe/german-finance-minsiter-schaeuble-warns-against-brexit-a-1096942.html Quote:How would the EU respond if the British voted to leave theEuropean Union? German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble has stated that he rejects a further deepening of integration in Europe. "In response to Brexit, we couldn't simply call for more integration," the politician, a member of Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservative Christian Democratic Union, told SPIEGEL in an interview. "That would be crude, many would rightfully wonder whether we politicians still hadn't understood." Even in the event that only a small majority of British voters reject a withdrawal, "we would have to see it as a wakeup call and a warning not to continue with business as usual," Schäuble said.

Or .... You snuck in like a snake in the grass/thief in the night. Not true at all. Many illegals immigrants entered the country legally and just remained after their visas expired.

Then you should be correcting Lucie instead of me. He should have said "This is spitting in the face of anyone who received a legal visa that allowed them to only stay 29 days".

It seems Germany is talking tough as we get closer to the vote. They are currently covered as far as a trade deal goes and I seriously doubt Germany or any other EU nation is going to stop trading with the Brits.

No I said this is spitting in the face or anyone who gets a legal visa. As far as I'm concerned we should grab them and put them into handcuffs until we can deport them. |
