In an unprecedented move following the horrific attacks in Paris last Friday the 13th the European commission is
reviewing its founding treaty with a view to strengthening border controls. This development goes to show the
change in European conscious brought about by the sheer scale of the Parisian death and injury. The vision of the
founding fathers of the EU saw the end-game being a Federal “one nation” Europe and progressive treaties over the
last 70 years or so sought to bring this “binding” about. I believe that recent events have put a stop to this goal once
and for all. If the European Union cannot protect its citizens (and it is obvious it cannot) then the only fallback is the
individual state, ergo this state cannot be abolished in this new world of hyper-terror. It would thus now appear that
David Cameron’s desire to see the EU revert back to being a common market of independent Nation States is going
to come about after all. What negotiation was not achieving it would appear radical terrorism has. Who would have
thought? </div><div><br></div><div>Here is how the Associated Press reported this story:
AP. 20th. November 2015:
Between the French Interior Minister Cazeneuve: "we're face with a new kind of terrorism", and Hungary’s PM
Orban: "allowing people into our own back yard who may then commit acts of terrorism was irresponsible”, AP
reports that the EU's founding treaty with regard to passport-free travel - the so-called Schengen Agreement - is to
be reformed. "We want Europe, which has lost too much time on a certain number of questions, to note the urgency
and take decisions today," exclaimed Cazeneuve, with Orban adding "the founding treaty is currently an obstacle to
this and I believe it needs to be reconsidered." According to Cazeneuve, the reforms will happen by year-end. <br clear="all"><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div>Check out the Commons Transition Plan here at: <a href="http://commonstransition.org" target="_blank">http://commonstransition.org</a> </div><div><br></div>P2P Foundation: <a href="http://p2pfoundation.net" target="_blank">http://p2pfoundation.net</a> - <a href="http://blog.p2pfoundation.net" target="_blank">http://blog.p2pfoundation.net</a> <br><br><a href="http://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/p2p-foundation" target="_blank"></a>Updates: <a href="http://twitter.com/mbauwens" target="_blank">http://twitter.com/mbauwens</a>; <a href="http://www.facebook.com/mbauwens" target="_blank">http://www.facebook.com/mbauwens</a><br><br>#82 on the (En)Rich list: <a href="http://enrichlist.org/the-complete-list/" target="_blank">http://enrichlist.org/the-complete-list/</a> <br></div></div></div></div>
