The EU Consulate

They are at it again.

The European Commission yesterday called for national governments to join it in shared diplomatic and consular facilities "inspired" by the idea of an EU diplomatic service.

They desperately want to undermine the view around the world of EU member states as nation states. They are also doing something else.

Such a service would have been created by the moribund EU constitution and in the absence of that treaty the commission wants action now to increase the EU's "visibility" worldwide.

Yes is cherry season and the EU is busy picking.
