It is now clear that the refusal of the constitutional treatise reflected more a reject of the direction taken by the union than a refusal of the treatise itself. Originally the union was an association intended to progressively become a federation. After the UK was accepted, it ran off the line and reached a stage where absolute free trade is the ultimate and only objective.
From this point, the 27 members are not associates but simple traders on the same market, and this does not justify that we participate in attempts for new improvements which in all cases will be sabotaged by the UK.
It can be now expected that our cooperation will from now on imitate the UK style, that is absolute refusal of building a more powerful union.
I can already hear the claim of the UK supporters : Does will it change anything?
We will see.
But the original founders know that we are always opened to a special organization between the 6.
