EU heads to sign landmark treaty

news.bbc.co.uk — EU leaders are preparing to sign a treaty in the Portuguese capital, Lisbon, that will greatly alter the way members govern themselves. The treaty creates an EU president and a vastly more powerful foreign policy chief for the Union's 27 nations. At the same time the document scraps veto powers in many policy areas.

  • kozo457, on 12/13/2007, -3/+5The EU is becoming a superstate with a president holding vast powers, vetoing others. The next step towards World government.
  • Napoleone, on 12/14/2007, -2/+4Isn't this exactly what EU leaders claimed would not happen? What they tried to reassure the people against?
  • principle, on 12/14/2007, -1/+2Resistance is useless!
  • chaddles, on 12/14/2007, -2/+5These EU nations are giving up their powers of veto, giving up their sovereignty over judicial and police matters, and putting in charge an unelected, appointed president & foreign policy chief.
    They will control huge budgets and thousands of staff, paid for by European taxpayers who ultimately have no say in this super-government.
    How does any of this make the EU more democratic?
    This is what the future will look like for NAU and APEC. Unelected leaders and diminished sovereignty that we will pay for with our wallets and our freedoms.
  • iAlex, on 12/14/2007, -0/+3What a ***** joke. There is no democracy in Europe if there are no referendums. These people are traitors. And the people of Europe don't even seem to notice. Sick. These bureaucrats are disgusting traitors in bed with Bilderberg (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Bilderberg_at ... just look how many politicans and people from EU there) and they are in bed with globalists and big corporations. Disgusting traitors!
  • octagon69, on 12/14/2007, -0/+1Hahaha Europe is as ***** as America. How does it feel to be betrayed by your own government people of the once sovereign United Kingdom? Its about time that you understand that companies run this world and not the people.

    Next stop North American Union.
