Cum se fac tratatele UE

How EU treaties are made

In the beginning was THE PLAN.

And then came THE ASSUMPTIONS.

And THE ASSUMPTIONS were without form.

And THE PLAN was without substance.

And darkness was upon the face of the policy planners.

***

And they spoke among themselves, saying verily:

"THE PLAN is a crock of shit and it stinks."

And the policy planners went unto their Special Advisers and said:

"THE PLAN is a pail of dung, and none may abide the odor thereof."

And the Special Advisers went unto their Lobbyists, saying:

"THE PLAN is a container of excrement and it is very strong such

that none may abide by it."

And the Lobbyists went unto the EU Committees, saying:

"THE PLAN is a vessel of fertiliser and none may abide its strength."

And the Committee members spoke amongst themselves, saying one to another:

"THE PLAN contains that which aids plant growth and it is very strong."

And the Committee Members then went unto the Rappatours, saying unto them:

"THE PLAN promotes growth and it is very powerful."

And the Rappatours went unto the EU Commission, saying unto them:

"THE PLAN will actively promote the growth and stability of the European Union with powerful effects."

And the EU Commission looked upon THE PLAN and saw that it was good.

And THE PLAN became a Treaty

This is how shit happens!.
