EU suffers defeat at the UN

The report is in EU Observer linked here. Van Rompuy and Ashton, who will continue to sit with the Vatican and Red Cross, should have realised that UN stands for the 'United Nations', perhaps they thought they could squeak in as democracy has never been a pre-requisite to membership! Good to see that being a Nation still remains the main criteria, a small and rare victory for common sense from the UN General Assembly.
