CAMPAIGN FOR NATIONAL INDEPENDENCE

Was, is and shall remain in favour of Maltese workers

WE SWEAR TO FREE MALTA FROM THE SLAVERY, COLONIALISM AND DICTATORIAL ILLEGAL EUROPEAN UNION RULE

The widespread long-term unemployment in the European Union countries is the result of the economic policy embraced by the Union.

According to the Union economic policy, a certain amount of unemployment is required to subdue wages and to prevent prices from increasing too much.

According to the same Union economic policy, no measures should be taken by the Government to create work in the country, as the market forces should be left free to create the amount of work that does not result in pressure for higher wages and does not create a greater demand that increases prices.

The aim of this Union economic policy is not to create work for all.

On the contrary, if everyone was working in a country is considered as a bad thing, because it results in a demand for higher wages and higher prices because of a greater demand for objects.

Therefore the Union does not allow the Government to increase public spending to create more work and employ more people and the Union insists with it to spend less.

The European Union also does not let market foces work alone, but interferes in the market by increasing or lowering the debt interest rates and thus influence the amount of economic activity in the country on which depends how many people work and what happens to the prices.

In the European Union, instead of the economic policy implementing the social aims of the country, it is the market that decides the economic policy without considering the exigencies and the social consequences in the country.

Unemployment is considered as being necessary for the correct operation of the market, and the requirement of work for all is not considered as being over and above the operation of the free market.

The two worst effects of this mistaken European Union economic policy are the rate of economic expansion and the high level of unemployment in the Union.

The Union rate of economic expansion is very much less that the rate of economic expansion of many countries outside the Union, and therefore the Union is falling back economically when compared with countries such as Norway, the United States of America, China, Malaysia, India, Australia, and even some of the Latin American countries.

The other bad effect of the mistaken EU economic policy is on the widespread long-term unemployment that is a great social wound in the Union that does not want full employment, but wants that there will always be a certain percentage of unemployed people looking for work in a country.

A certain mount of unemployment is considered as a desired element of the economic policy embraced by the Union that does not care about the poverty and injustices that it causes.

For the Union economic policy social justice does not exist.

Only market profit counts.

The people are for the market, not the market for the people.

With membership in the Union our Christian country made this pagan economic policy its own.

While the German Government is working so that the European Union countries ratify the same constitution for Europe that the majority of the French and Dutch citizens had voted against and that the Maltese Parliament unanimously approved on 6 July 2005, the Maltese Government has been advised that the objections for that Constitution are not going to be overcome if it is not drafted in another manner.

Therefore a detailed plan should be considered on what should be done if the Constitution is again denied.

It is known that the opposition against the Constitution that the leaders of the governments of the Union countries had signed with great solemnity in October 2004 (among Prime Minister Gonzi and Minister Michael Frendo), is great.

The Polish President, Lech Karazynski, stated publicly that there is no chance that the Polish people will approve it.

The British Minister for Foreign Affairs, Margaret Becket, has just declared in the British Parliament that the Union Constitution in its present form cannot move forward.

The Dutch Prime Minister, Jan Peter Balkenende categorically excluded that another referendum will be held about the Union Constitution because the Dutch people will again vote against it.

The Maltese Government has been advised that the Constitution that the Union had drafted in 2004 should be changed so that instead of leaning towards the Union for a federal state (that is a federation of states), makes the Union as a network of nations and fixes its spread of powers.

The concept of a ‘network of nations’ is against the fundamental concept of the 2004 Constitution that leads to a greater integration of the member countries in a new state distinct from the Union member states, that the Maltese Parliament approved in July 2005.

Once the Maltese Parliament approved the Constitution for Europe even after the French and Dutch vote against it, Malta is in an embarassing situation because it will have to admit that it erred when it did not stop the ratification process of the Constitution that will have to be changed.

The Czech Member of the European Parliament, Jann Zahradil, who had taken part in the Convention that had drafted the Constitution, but did not sign the final draft because he did not agree with it, insists that those who wanted to reform the Union now have the opportunity to try and do it when the integration process was stopped by the French and Dutch NO.

Zahradil is of the opinion that instead of a constitution that brings further integration, the European Union needs greater economic dynamism, decentralize its powers, and let member nations remain different from each other but cooperate strongly with each other and remain free not to continue to do so if they feel that it is not in their interests to cooperate.

Whoever does not read or listen to what is being written and said about the European Union and its Constitution may think that we, the CNI, are like a voice in the desert in our criticism of the Union, because in our country no criticism for the Union is heard apart from ours.

More so there is no criticism about the Union Constitution that Parliament had passed unanimously, as if it was a common law like that on rubbish, without a real debate or nearly no debate.

And it was passed when it was already killed by the NO vote of the French and Dutch people.

Now that Germany has the EU presidency for the next six months, the German Chancellor, Angel Merkel, announced that she is going to do her utmost to revive the “dead” EU Constitution.

But she knows that she has a very strong bone to chew.

And the first indications were given to her by the ex-President of Germany itself, Roman Herzog.

In an article in the German newspaper Welt Am Sonntag, Roman Herzog, who was also previously a Constitutional Judge, criticized both the EU as well as the Constitution that Merkel wants to revive.

I am going to quote some excerpts from Roman Herzog's writings.

“The EU policies suffer in a frightful manner from lack of democracy”.

“The greater part of the laws that there are in Germany today have been agreed in the Council of Ministers and not in the German Parliament. And every law that is adopted in the Council of Ministers (of the EU) must be introduced into German law by the German Parliament”,

the same as is happening in the Maltese Parliament.

“According to the German Constitution, the German Parliament is the main actor (that is who decides) the political formation of the German people. And therefore one must ask whether today Germany can still be called a parliamentary democracy”.

And Herzog continued to write thus:

“The EU Constitution is not going to solve this problem (that is, if Germany is still a Parliamentary democracy). And neither is it going to make good for the lack of democracy in the EU itself”.

Imagine if what was written by the ex-German President, Roman Herzog, was also written by the ex-Maltese President, Professor Guido De Marco in The Times imagine what scandal it would have been for the brainwashed EU apostles in our country.

It’s not in vain that the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, is already admitting that it is going to be very difficult to convince all the Union governments to succeed in what she wants.

The French Economic Council, presided by Dominique de Villepin, the French Prime Minister, in a recent report criticized the European Union quite a lot.

In the Economic Council report it is said that:

• It does not appear that there was any expansion in the trading of products and in the provision of services neither after the 1993 Treaty on the European Union, known as the Single European Act, nor after the introduction of the Ewro in 1999.

• The European Union economic integration has stagnated and is not leading to economic expansion.

• The shortcomings of the European Union that has not succeeded in giving new life to the economy is scaring capital investment away from Europe. The lack of long-term workers jobs and the weak expansion of the economy are undermining the social services.

The economic problems, together with the mismanaged expansion of the Union and the lengthy procedures of how the union works, are together creating a vicious circle that is going to cause total destruction of all that had been agreed during the years, that is, the Union’s acquis communautaire.

With the French Union criticism, we now have the harsh criticism of the Vice-President of the European Commission, Gunther Verheugen himself.

He complained that the mountains of regulation are costing the Union member countries 600 billion Ewros every year.

This amount is around 5.5 percent of the Union Gross Domestic Product.

It is three times greater than the amount of 165 billion Ewros that the Commission estimated that the Union countries have enjoyed in 2002 with the establishment of one Union common market.
