Salvia: EU associate status a threat to Ukraine’s sovereignty
Whilst in Kiev recently, EU expansion czar Stefan Fuele dismissed as “utter nonsense” the “myth” that if Ukraine becomes an associate member of Europe “you will lose your sovereignty and that it will be expensive.”
This statement is bizarre. When you join “Europe,” whether in the guise of full or associate membership, you surrender sovereignty to the infinitely remote, unaccountable Brussels technocracy. That’s the whole point of it; it has no other. You sign on to what José Manuel Barroso, President of the European Commission, referring to the EU, called “the world’s first non-imperial empire.” If you are not prepared to do that, steer clear.
