The Final Frontier

Jonathan Lockhart comments on the never ending appetite of the EU to expand its area of influence. It seems that our masters in Brussels have decided that there is not frontier beyond which they will not go. According to the newly signed constitution, space is now a shared competence, which means members are not allowed act without asking nanny first. The fact is that if the constitution if it is accepted at all will become activated in 2006. The fact that it may well be rejected is another issue entirely. But the message from Brussels is, we don’t care, we are starting to implement it already.
