The report says it differently to the quote here. Commission slams Ombudsman’s ‘incorrect’ Selmayrgate report

This is what happens under the British idea of reducing some tariffs under WTO rules. They are obligated to reduce for everyone. Comment from the Australian representative at the WTO: „ "Under WTO rules you can't just reduce tariffs to help the European Union in the absence of a free trade, you...

Which is why the Germans want the EU monopolies commission to allow giant mergers, such as between train makers like Siemens and the French HGV makers, in order to compete on the world market against China. About like AirBus. Without such large firms the EU will be squeezed out by the USA and...

Not by the head of the civil service you mean? He is the executive, not the legislative. The legislative need an executive to carry out their laws. They are not normally elected.

Bit of a joke. DFDS has just got the first of six mega ferries built in China. Each ship can carry a line of trucks over 11 KM long. Seem to be a bit more ambitious than Seabourne no Ships Ltd.

As does Liam Fox‘s failure to provide 40 trade deals to come into effect on leaving the EU.

The EU, like the UK government, is run for the benefit of the people. There will always be critics and there will always be things that are wrong or should be reformed. That is the nature of things. Thank god there are people with better ideas who make their voices heard. Leaving solves nothing.

Australia has already said they won’t do a UK deal until they have got their EU deal. EU being more important.

The EU are not at fault for Cameron‘s actions.

No, but you did say: „A model of positivity & patriotism...or I supoose that is how you and a few other deluded, delerious &demented members on heresee yourselves.“ Were you referring to „remain“ posters or to „leave“ posters? And Fox has got deals with Chile and the Faroes and a temporary...

Ok. Give a list of the roll over trade deals that come into effect on Brexit day. 40 were promised by the patriots who caused this mess. Pointing out that we and our countrymen were lied to is patriotism.

Do you really think that 27 countries are only interested in dictating to the UK? And that the heads of state of these countries have been influenced by EU mandarins to dictate to Britain? Our MEPs and PM are only meaningful on paper? They have no say in anything? Pure Faragism.

„The European Parliament debated the issue and passed a resolution in plenary on 18 April 2018. Given the facts of the inquiry, the Ombudsman agrees with its assessment that the affair damaged trust in EU institutions and that the double-appointments “stretched and possibly even overstretched...

Well, the good news is that the parliament has accepted the ombudswoman‘s view over Oettinger‘s and concluded that the case of urgency was deliberately created and asked has for Selmayr‘s resignation. If that takes place and Juncker goes at the end of his term, then you should be happy. Me too...

Commission slams Ombudsman’s ‘incorrect’ Selmayrgate report The other version.

Those in charge of the EU are the heads of EU states and the parliament. Are you saying the heads of state are too strong for the heads of state?

The EU members such as Macron, want to reform the EU to make it work better. This involved more power for EU institutions. Some want that, some don’t. It is not a dictatorship so there has to be agreement. You seem to be for reform, but against the necessary measures. You are trying to paint a...

I don’t lie. You just claim I do and make things up - as you just have yet again. The Selmayr lie is a classic. His appointment may have been dodgy, but was allowed to stand because it did not break the rules. The ombudswoman has since been criticised for not having interviewed the people at the...

That the EU is young and evolving is a fact. Macron and Merkel and everyone else think things could be improved upon. That is why it is evolving. Too slowly? Maybe. You seem to think that it is a sign of weakness that people keep wanting to make the EU better. It is a sign of strength. Leaving...

The truth is that we had influence. We were in the big three with France and Germany. The SM and CU were pushed by us and the financial rules were set largely to suit us, which is one reason London is successful. You just repeat Daily Mail type crap and ignore the truth. To suggest that we had...
