Hello!

Go

more intense last week at the community level! We thank the EU effort to leave some vital issues closed before Christmas. That have closed the 'best' way is another thing ...

start with the full European Parliament which met from 13 to 16 December in Strasbourg. You can read a good summary of the different issues discussed at the highlights of the European Parliament website ( here ).

of these issues include: a) the approval by the Parliament of the budget 2011 (following the proposal of the Council) and b) approval of system of 'citizens' initiative', enshrined in the Treaty of Lisbon.

On the budget holder with which I'm proposing is that the States has prevailed against the proposals of the Commission and the European Parliament. The two institutions argued that the EU would need at least a 5.9% budget increase to fund the new skills covered by the Treaty of Lisbon, between which include such an entirely new system of diplomatic representation, increasing the safety skills and common policy, a system of coordination with national parliaments, better communication with the public policy ...-. Europe today is a Europe that is more prepared and officially 'able', they wanted the states themselves signing an ambitious Lisbon Treaty (despite having suffered several cuts). Think that these changes do not require further funding will bear fruit or not to invest the necessary money can be seen as a somewhat contradictory attitude politically as well as a challenge to the survival of the venture community.

The European Council, following the reasoning British origin, has succeeded with the justification of the crisis the EU budget increase for 2011 has been at 2.91%. It is significant that countries like France and Germany have used British interests as an excuse to reach an agreement on the minimum and most likely also insufficient.

The 'defeat' the Parliament not only results in the fact that interest state have prevailed against the European spirit of the Parliament, the surrender of PE alluding to 'lesser evil' is disappointing given the promising start two months ago. Also political defeat leaves the European Parliament in a very compromised position for future negotiations. This budget was accepted without any political deal that gives the Parliament a better position in view of the debate on the general framework of the EU budget for 2013-2020. MEPs also voted without getting any guarantee to the creation of 'capital' by EU tax, a nucleus that propose the camera with the Commission to win financial autonomy.

has clearly lost the first assault, and states in an alliance somewhat hypocritical and risky, they have allowed even sign a letter (Germany and France by in the UK!) to ask the Commission to the financial capacities of the Union 'freeze' for 2013-2020 ...

Rarely give us the opportunity to use a tone so critical, but States are moving from a strategy that consisted of 'privileged' interests to a strategy in which we wonder if they see the future of the Union as a 'secondary' and even 'expendable'. And that is a substantive change, where other institutions must begin to be aware that in this context, or stiffen the defense of the project or the EU can become paralyzed really important during the coming years.
