On corrupt European Commissioners over “Direct Trade”...
* Congrats to “James Shawcross from Oxford” for this great post…
“One has to question what certain European Commissioners were doing trying to use the Lisbon Treaty to bypass Cypriot objections by claiming that MEPs have now acquired powers over what the Commission considers to be a matter of international trade. An assumption that was highly questionable to say the least. No doubt the British government was one of the main backers of this disgraceful plan.
The sponsors of this proposal have shown absolute contempt for UN and EU resolutions, international law and for the government of Cyprus. They have also misled the Turkish Cypriots into thinking that they could upgrade their status into a Taiwan model and wasted valuable time and energy in the negotiations. All in all, one of the most shameful episodes in the history of the European Commission.”
