EU destroys rain forests for biofuels

EU Commissioners obsessed with the perks of office and seemingly very little else can now add the rain forests to their terrible toll of destruction which already included fish stocks and third world farmers. Various reports are available this is from Deutsche Welle. The BBC Today programme included an interview with the Greek Commissioner presently responsible for this latest fiasco just this morning on Radio 4. When will it sink in that these petty, small minded bureaucrats can do the least damage when they stick to their own country's affairs. Greece making the wrong call on biofuels is one thing, the entire Continent of Europe (excluding the Oh So Wise Swiss and Norwegians) is of a different magnitude all together. Of course with a little democracy thrown in, where consequential accountability might bring an end to these lucrative sinecures with their tax free pensions and perks, things MIGHT be different - hence, no doubt, the Lisbon Treaty - ensuring that for these incompetent Commissioners and for all time democracy will be impossible in the present totally flawed EU.
