Council3 Another power-grab against Democracy! Council and Commission cut Civil Society out of the democratic circuit. The party cartel strikes again!

8, March, 2010

“Civil Society? — throw it out of the decision-making process!” That is the new law of the Commission in cahoots with the Council. A communication of the Commission to the Council and the Parliament deals with this new power-grab under the Lisbon Treaty. It comes under articles 290 and 291 of Lisbon Treaty’s TFEU. Powers… » read more

Commission Debate19 : Bye-bye Abe Lincoln’s democracy! Bye-bye Europe’s democratic heritage? Bye-bye Planet?!

29, December, 2009

At Copenhagen in December 2009, politicians failed to agree on joint action to save our planet. Politicians have also failed democracy. Has any one noticed? The only living planet in our solar system is in mortal danger — and the melting glaciers, rising tides, desertification, and the annihilation of non-human lifeforms should be ample evidence… » read more

Commission Debate18 : Open letter to new Commissioners on Europe’s foundational Declaration of Interdependence and supranational Democracy

30, November, 2009

Subject: Europe’s foundational Declaration of Inter-Dependence Communicating Europe with “old documents” Dear President Barroso and Commissioners, Congratulations on your new positions. During the coming months, the 60th anniversary of the Schuman Declaration to take place on 9 May 2010 must be planned. I hope that the entire Commission will give great thought to the preparations… » read more

Commission Debate17 : The Lisbon Treaty – Europe’s giant leap into the 19th century

5, November, 2009

The Lisbon Treaty is taking Europe into the 21st century. Don’t believe me. That is what the Europa.eu site declares. Europa is the European information site that still has not had the courage in all its existence to publish the full text of the Schuman Declaration at the origin of the European Community. Europa.eu is… » read more

Commission Debate16: How should we recruit Commission staff? The dangers and dog fights to avoid.

20, October, 2009

How should we elect the Commission? And what about the staff — the European civil servants? The first question to ask is: What is the Commission for? Then it can be decided who is to be recruited and how. Is the destiny of the Commission to be the poodle of the Council? If the Commissioners… » read more

TRUTH 1: When is the Commission going to tell the truth?

14, October, 2009

For the last several decades the European Commission has been telling whoppers, fibs and lies. At the time of writing, it is still doing so. A disinformation campaign has cost Europeans millions of euros. In total the losses to the European economy must amount to billions, possibly trillions. They began in the Gaullist period. They… » read more

Commission Debate 15: Cartels, political and commercial: Who stifles the voice of the people and counsels the Council on dirty tricks?

22, September, 2009

As the only institution allowed to propose European legislation, the European Commission represents the general interest of the whole Community. As an independent, impartial, honest broker, it represents all the people, all the organisations of civil society involved and all the governments forming part of the European Community. That’s what the founding fathers wrote as… » read more

Commission Debate 14: The Problem of Tyranny, Why experienced politicians, even honourable ones, say “NO, I don’t want to be elected Europe’s president.” (And others prefer secret, undemocatic deals.)

24, August, 2009

Let’s deal with another aspect of the political paradox that Robert Schuman and the other founders of the democratic New Europe left us. Be assured they also left us with a magnificent, fair and just solution for developing a powerful European democracy. They provided the finest example of democracy so far proposed in modern times.… » read more

Commission Debate 13: Should all citizens be able to stand and to choose Europe’s leader? The danger of the most photogenic

3, August, 2009

Although many politicians lust after the job, the choice of Commission President is far too important to be left to party politicians. They are scarcely qualified. The job description says that Commissioners — all of them — should be independent. Party politicians obviously aren’t independent as they are proposed by and are therefore the tools… » read more

Commission Debate 12: Europe’s disreputable system for “fixing” its President

20, July, 2009

Is the EU a democracy? It is a damning commentary on the democratic ethics of the 27 governments of the EU that they choose the President of the European Commission in secret, without any recourse to democracy. The press is shut out. Rumours fly around. Candidates for the Commission sometimes mysteriously appear. Yet no advertisement… » read more
