It's good to see that the UK still follows it's time-honored tradition of allowing 'continental' civil law to creep into it's legal system.
Ever since the establishment of their 'Court of Admiralty' in 1360, England and Wales have accepted the fact that international trade needs international jurisdiction. :book:
Haha! Now you have to put up with a legal system that you have no say in and dosen't support your countries views! :evilgrin: You will lose control of your borders and be pushed around by other nations.
wait a minute...i live in the USA... ~:mecry:
And some Russians *I dont* feel that the EU is just another way for France and Belgum to take over Europe... They couldnt do it through War... So they do it politicaly...Quote:

Yeah, sure, remember last time Belgium tried to rule over Europe :dizzy2:Quote:

Now, if some countries dislike the way the EU works (I'm not too fond either) or with its aims, then, just accept the Treaty and resign, as simple as that.

As I see it you yanks dont like the UN and the international courts couse some of your highranking officers might find themself charged with... stuff. :bow:
Oh yeah, the 'new Europe' cried all the way to the bank when they were allowed into the European Union in 2004. Imagine their suffering at having to queue again, only this time for EU subsidies, benefits, exchange programs, diplomatic support against high-handed Russia and what have you.Quote:

I would say - joining EU for many people here had more emotional meaning - to be safe and to be part of something where they belong and from where they were taken out with force, but in economics, its good growth for business but painfull kick to the pockets of many people.
Due to the current lack of economic growth pensions, salaries and standards of living suffer all across the EU. Not all new member states are expected to do eauqlly well, of course. The best growth performance is expected from Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and the Baltic countries. Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania will be the fastest growers in the EU I believe.Quote:

To be honest, many people here in the EU think that Russia is in a mess.Quote:
