Plans afoot to break Nice Treaty Rules on EU Commission

A move to break the Nice Treaty provisions regarding the formation of the next EU Commission in an attempt to get the non-ratified Lisbon Treaty to prevail has been long expected and is now underway, read here. Once again we have proof that there is no ploy nor illegality to which the EU will not stoop to override the stated will of the people of Europe. The article amazingly enough has the nerve to state the following: “If the Commission is invested before 31 October, according to the treaty, its mandate is five years. So the EU would be stuck with a small, Nice, Commission for five years,” said a senior official, adding: “This would not honour the promise to the Irish that each member state is guaranteed a commissioner.” This senior official is apparently content to now state that the EU would for five years be " stuck with a small Nice Commission" yet streamlining the Commission was the principle raison d'etre for the Laeken convention and resulting Constitutional Treaty! How devious can warped minds become?
