For
30 years we have been deceived over the EU by politicians who knew that
we would never accept their plan to abolish Britain and the other
nations of Europe, and replace them with a country called "Europe". Only
in Britain is it still denied that this is, and always was, the
intention. Judge for yourself:
"First
and foremost, however, EMU is a major step on the road to 'ever closer
union' in Europe. It represents the opening of a new chapter in the
European federalists' agenda, a significant transfer of national
sovereignty to a supra-national institution." Mr. Prodi's remarks
corroborate what was said in an interview with a German MEP on the BBC.
"Let
it not be forgotten that the Treaty of Rome does not contain any clause
providing for the withdrawal or expulsion of a Member State. The logic,
the assumption underlying the extraordinary achievement that is the
European Union is that every State when it becomes a member of the Union
accepts its fundamental principles without reservation and forever.
"It
is an illusion to think that states can hold onto their autonomy over
taxation policies". Hans Tietmeyer, the President of the German
Bundesbank
"I
agree, if you go so far as to transfer tax and public spending you are
moving near a superstate." Kenneth Clarke on Jonothan Dimbleby 1999

Jacques Santer, then-President of the European Commission, The Daily Telegraph, 1/1/99.
"It
[the Euro] is a decisive step towards ever closer political and
institutional union in Europe. Above all, it is political." Carlo
Azeglio Ciampi, Italian Finance Minister, The Daily Telegraph, 1/1/99.'
"First
and foremost, however, EMU is a major step on the road to 'ever closer
union' in Europe. It represents the opening of a new chapter in the
European federalists' agenda, a significant transfer of national
sovereignty to a supra-national institution." William Buitter Bank of
England Monetary Policy Committee (see

and Monetary Union is one of the most far-reaching and momentous steps
of the European Union exercise." - Charlie McReevy, Irish Finance
Minister, The Daily Telegraph, 1/1/99.

(the euro)is a goal without precedent and, above all, it is a political
move." Carlo Azeglio Ciampi, Italian Finance Minister, The Daily
Telegraph,
1/1/99.
"It
will be the first time Europe will have its own currency and the first
time we have achieved such a result without arms." - Yves-Thibault de
Silguy, EU Monetary Affairs Commissioner, Daily Telegraph, 1/1/99.
"The
Euro is a conquest of sovereignty. It gives us a margin of manoeuvre.
It's a tool to help us master globalisation and help us resist
irrational shifts in the market." Dominique Strauss-Kahn, French Finance
Minister, The Daily Telegraph, 1/1/99.
"Monetary
union is demanding that we Europeans press ahead resolutely with
political integration." Senior EU politician, name mislaid
"Our future begins on January 1 1999: The Euro is Europe's key to the
21st
century. The era of solo national fiscal and economic policy is over." -
Gerhard Schroeder, German Chancellor, The Guardian, 1/1/99.
"When
we build the house of Europe the future will belong to Germany" Helmut
Kohl, speaking in East Germany, unaware that reporters were present.
"Germany
as the biggest and most powerful economic member state will be the
leader (of Europe) whether you like it or not." Theo Waigel, former
German Finance Minister (1997)
"Never
again must there be a destabilising vacuum of power in central Europe.
If European integration were not to progress, Germany might be called
upon, or tempted by its own security constraints, to try to effect the
stabilisation on its own and in the traditional way". CDU Parliamentary
Committee on European Affairs, September 1994
"The
Parliament and the Commission are allies against the member states.
Together we have to prevent the member states from taking back power."

Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee: From a speech in 1998:
President
Rau of Germany "called for the European Union to be transformed into a

"decision-making procedures which guarantee Europe's capacity for
action."

"The
time for individual nations (in Europe) having its own tax, employment

erroneous ideas of nations having sovereignty over foreign and defence
policies. National sovereignty will soon prove itself to be a product of
the imagination." Gerhard Schroeder, Chancellor of Germany, January
1999.
"I
am not embarrassed to suggest that, sometimes, the answer to the
concerns of a disillusioned European public is not less Europe but
more". Mr. Prodi in Die Welt

On
the other hand: "Europe has never existed except as being the
totalitarian ambition of dictators like Napoleon, Hitler, Charlemagne

no unity of any kind nolinguistic unity, no cultural unity, no common
view of things, no common destiny it is a total mystery" Jaques Attalli,
principal adviser to President Mitterand of France,
