We only hear or read now and then about these
scandalous wastes of money while the rest of Europe suffers under
cut-backs. These are only few examples
of a great list if cone right through the EU’s budget.
It had been stated in previous years that the EU’s
budget is irrational, overly complex (most properly to hide several waste or
money) and hopelessly out of date. This statement raises the question what are
the MEPs really doing? Even Ken Clarke
said once that to get legislation through the European Parliament it takes
years. They are more concerned with commas being in the right spot as to work
on the new legislation and put it through. It took over ten years to bring a
law against battery hens and then there were loopholes. Yet, when MPs are
calling for pulling out of EU; the rest of the MPs are up in arms. The very contribution
just from the UK is sky high and far too much.
Now these are just a few examples of the brainless
ideas which cost taxpayer’s money.
411,000 Euros paid to a Hungarian IT company to
improve the lifestyle and living standard of dogs. It includes a hydrotherapy
system to improve dog’s well-being. The last we heard off was that that the
centre was not built and the company was under an enquiry.
5.25million Euros paid to a limousine company to
chauffeur MEPS around Strasbourg. The company ensured absolute discretion. Well
that alone tells tales.
5million Euros bought MEPs in Luxembourg an
exclusive restaurant with Scotland Highland dancing and wine-tasting (not from supermarkets) in a “culture club”.
16,000Euros was paid to Austria Agricultural Fund
for Rural Development and the reason give will set you screaming. It was for
Tyrolean farmers’ “emotional connection with landscapes.” Tyrolean farmers could be more connected with
their homeland. These papers must have been signed after the wine-tasting.
900,000 Euros from the European Regional Development
Fund was paid for a golf park and “wellness hotel” in Germany. It was
surprising that at the hotel Angela Merkel was a guest. Furthermore, and that
will set you screaming again. A most strange idea was to build a “virtual
language pool” which is to inspire EU citizens to learn new languages using
swimming.
6.4milllion Euros given to Andalucia to promote what
EU funds have done for the region.
It is not only heartbreaking to read these crackpot
ideas but it is also insulting how they use the taxpayers’ money.
It is definitely high time that a referendum is
allowed to be taken. David Cameron and his cabinet are shying away every time it
is mentioned and most properly they know that British people are not for being part
of the EU at all because of taking over power by Brussels and especially if you read how their money wasted on worst
ideas anyone could think up.
Admittedly it was a good idea to start with but with most of these ideal idea it gets into the politicians' hands and there is nothing but mismanagement like in the EU. This mismanagement exists from the start. There wine lakes, butter and flour mountains and milk lakes. The regulations they did put through were just as contradicting. For instance the regulation for the fishing industry. Once the fishermen have their quota they have to throw overboard tonnes of dead fish which is nothing but waste. The Court for Human Rights, another good idea, but it is always working to improve the prisoners already luxurious lifestyle or rewarding criminals instead of victims.
