Foreign Office Lies over Negotiating the EU Reform Treaty

Read my archive blogs over the late summer and into the autumn for last year and again and again you will encounter Foreign Office Ministers denying there had been any negotiations of the EU Treaty before the June summit, even sometimes scoffing at the known existence of the "sherpas". (An example is linked here). Now read this report on the Treaty from Europolitics in pdf format from this link especially pages 38 and 39 titled: "Tales from inside a blue submarine ....." by Nicolas Gros-Verhyde The article concludes as follows: =================================================== The summit on the 18 and 19 October was therefore dominated by the final adjustments (an extra advocate-general for the other member states) and the Italian question (an extra MEP). Agreement was reached at 2:30 in the morning. “Never before has an ICG managed to finalise a text in five months”. The experts can breathe again. Their work is finished … for the time being. (Note: this article has been compiled based on a series of interviews with lawyers and diplomats from different member states and EU institutions between June and October 2007) ====================================== This provides proof positive that ministers have been consistently lying to Parliament and its select committees for months. Five months before mid-October brings us to mid-May when the Foreign Office repeatedly flatly denied ANY negotiations were underway as has been re-asserted by the present Secretary of State at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, David Miliband, MP. Look again at the entire document and immediately perceive the huge transfer of power, all obtained by a massive cospiracy designed to deprive Europe's citizens of their democracies and parliamentary representation. To achieve what? As Marta Andeasen pointed out on Radio 4 this morning (linked from the posting below) it all has to be, especially the convenient blackening of MEPs, so that the structural account mismanagement amounting apparently to one hundred and twenty billion euros a year can conveniently continue.
