Building a citizens' Europe

[deepenhancer]

This video looks like a turistic video to make a vacation in Europe.

[TheTerminator97]

communist nonsense

[janak19771977]

iam a czech citisen not some eu sheep

death to eu

the nations will rise again

[deepenhancer]

europe has never existed it's an invention by freemasons

[ECYSE]

What I want for Europe right now:

Turkey should not join the EU, sry, but we are still to far apart.

[freeqwerqwer]

The amalgamation of European countries into one is destroying nationality identity for a common identity.

The EU was created to better compete economically in the world, not aimed to destroy nationality identity.

THIS COMMON EUORPEAN IDENTITY IS RUBBISH. STOP IT IMMEDIATELY

[sekadea]

you are just an american who doesn't understand Europe, and the rest of the world. usa is rubbish you mean, americans are just criminals and thieves. usa also destroyed native indians from america. ... go to sleep sweet american, and don't ever come to Europe, we dislike americans.

[dirtymudflaps]

@sekadea if you think all americans are criminals and theives, then you're the ignorant one here, so your time should be spent picking up a book rather than spewing hate on youtube... an AMERICAN website. You make Europeans look bad, so do your entire continent a favor by shutting up next time.

[me4tatelka47]

@freeqwerqwer: So what? National identities are unnecessary and the reason for so many wars. The faster we get a European common identity, the better!

[mischnix]

@me4tatelka47

Well a European common identity instead of National identities would not prevent wars.

There would just be less wars, but they would be on a world wide scale. EU-Nationalism would develop etc.

[StellandBlood]

@mischnix

Tell that to Merkel,and Sarkozy,and you will see that they will never accept that.

EU is a deceit, it will remain as a loose confederation/league,dominated by franco-german interests first of all.

Equality is not a real objective,just rhetoric,to make fools fall in the hands of the big capital.

EU can only become a federation if it is menaced by a external force,as a real union will become the only option,but when that happens it will be already too late.

[FrankinHolland]

Notice how "consultation" with citizens has replaced that pesky voting thing?

[gaynehgirl]

WHAT UTTER BULLSHIT

[FrankinHolland]

If Lisbon gets forced through I don't see europe holding out for another 20 years even before collapsing into daily riots and civil war. Of course only muslims will have weapons as the native population has been well disarmed.

[boarderviking]

Then we'll let the muslims fight our wars :-) meanwhile we take the country back.

[ligurialand65]

europe is not for the muslim!!!!!!!!!!!

[cyulkgrtg]

When will Bosnia and Herzegovina enter the European Union.

[anon2999]

EU voter turnout down again, can you guess why?

[Spenner56]

The EU parliament is not legitimate.

No-one was asked if they wanted it.

It does not have an opposition.

Proposed legislation doesn't originate in the parliament but from an un-elected commission.

The system of voting rights is un-democratic.

The parliament does not have citizens/voters of it's own but has to borrow them from nation states.

Brussels is DEAF to the opinions of Europeans on big issues like the Lisbon Treaty or enlargement .

Their salaries are bloated and corruption is rife.

[Arbitrary242]

This is a good video, eutube, with good messages.

However (this is a serious suggestion), try and make it more...exciting (for want of a more appropriate word); one of the major problems with this video is the narrator. As an 18-year-old his voice kind of bores me, and I'm sure many other people. You are going to have difficulty appealing to the young generation, the future of Europe, unless you make things seem less dull and boring.

[Spenner56]

google : EU corpus juris.

[Spenner56]

Today Kosovo celebrated 1 year of independance.

It also plans to join the EU.

Just out of interest...what legal right do EU police have to be in Kosovo, a state not recognised by half of the world's nations ( including some European countries ) ? The United Nations Court has yet to decide on the status of this "state".

PS. I am NOT anti-Albanian, just interested in the legality of over 1 billion of European taxpayers Euros being spent on a non EU country infrastructure & policing.

[brommaman40]

i just say eu is great force but i think we should be stronger and be a green environmentally friendly force in our world a symbol of good and hope for people fr johnnyb.

[frenchtugas]

European Union is far from being somemethig good...

[eric88eric88]

EU is the best thing that ever happened to europe

[trigga1uk]

your joking right, its an unelected government that are quite obviously trying to turn us into the next USSR. When are they just going to have done with it and annouce the United states of Europe, we all know they are going to try it. I bet Napolean and Hitler must be kicking themselves, bet they'd of used beauracracy istead of war to take over europe.

[mrgeorgeallison]

are you mentally retarded? at least look into how things work before voicing your awfully misled opinion...

[Arbitrary242]

trigga - you're British right? Well, you know who said this:"We must build a united states of Europe"?

Winston Churchill was the first to come up with the idea of a European Federation. He realised that it would be the most powerful nation on Earth, and that also it would prevent further European wars.

And the EU is not anything like the USSR - do you even know what communism is? Do you even know what the USSR and EU stand/stood for? Clearly not, since you make this comparison.

[wilwerin]

Europe must be united.E.U must have even stronger bonds between its members...We had so many wars all these years , inst it time to do something GREAT FOR OURSELVES ?I think it is..We hold our future in our hands..

[rismanpsykat]

why do u people fight agains the eu ? dont u think we fought anough with eachother ?? thousands of years of bloodshed ... if we dont unite then our diversity will soon spark other conflicts pretty soon , dont u people want peace for a change ? if the next World War begins ... do you really want it to begin here ? between ourselfs ?? think about it ... europe is for us all ... toghether united like the fingers of a hand into a fist , to strike fermly all who opose us and atack us

[Arsebiscute65]

Ah but if the Eu forms and certain ppl dont like it. They'll from a spratist movment that could lead to civil war like in the USA. so my good man u cant escape war. Shure it's unoble but it is an inevidable part of life. Thiink of it as the cycle of sorrow and joy were ever there is one the oter is shur to come. Therefor Utopia is non-existant. N the the Un flage should contain the buddist whell the hands of joy and the raven of sorrow not the olive writh cause that is jst utopian dreaming

[hansfredmueller]

yes! totally agree

[trigga1uk]

trying to force a continent to turn into a country will cause wars, especially when the eu starts implementing laws that some nations dont like, and they want out of the eu but there is only one way out, force. Trading relations between nations is essential but trying to blend us all into some utopian dream has been tried.Lets just stay happy with how things are instead of another version of the soviet union.

[mrgeorgeallison]

actaully... Greenland left the EU and the new treaty provides the ability for other nations to do so, legally there is nothign stopping them just now... again please research first

[madbcc]

the sample of european citizens should be faaar wider and more diversified.......

[grignon1]

As an british person i wouldn't want to be assosiated with backwards places like Serbia where there are loads of racists

[riethc]

LoL... Irony alert.

Those damn racist Serbs with there funny ways of thinking.

[smezec]

And there arent any in Britain?

[conorlewandowski]

OH YE LIKE THE WAY BRITIAN KILLED TONNES OF irish citizen. YEAH? YOU KNOW

''NO BLACKS NO DOGS NO IRISH.''

YOU HAVE NO MORAL HIGHGROUND being british MY FRIEND.

[utkonos313]

hmmm

[utkonos313]

I thought I posted a comment like "Building a citizens Europe by taxing the citizens and giving it to self-interest groups"

[andymurray2007]

Well, sorry to be the bearer of bad news but rest assured that within the United Kingdom the EU is regarded as an unwanted, unelected, corrupt and unaccountable dictatorship.

We won't allow further integration to go unopposed.

[Lordworcester]

Errr... Actually I think you'll find that some of us in the UK support the EU completely!

I agree it could do with being a bit more democratic but you've got to be in it to change it! Bring on a federal Europe!

[Mortarattack]

That's beacause you brits are arrogant, selfish and don't know how to take advantage of your membership to the EU

[madbcc]

andy please stop spreading your nonsensical hate around...youre not happy well vote against your government dont bother others ok?? join the BNP if youre not already a member and well fight for your percieved interests............. lol

[sonycamera111]

id rather be a part of a party that is making plans to help britian leave the eu rather than a party with the salt of views BNP do

[DrPullmeov]

Vote for BNP then you have just spat in the eye of all men & women who fought in world war 2.

[trigga1uk]

UKIP my man, thats who you want.

[smezec]

Unelected? How do you think the Members of the European parliament get there? ELECTIONS! Or maybe your just so ignorant you don't bother to pay any attention so you miss the elections and thus lose the vote that you do actually have.

[utkonos313]

EU - supporting citizens by taking thier taxes and giving them to self-interest groups. Yay!

[bowbez]

Read that in your commonwealth tabloid?

[enfundalamandolina]

EXCELENTE

[rdespradel]

Wooooow! Kelkaj tre karaj esperantistaj geamikoj aperas cxi tie! Mi tre fieras pro ili!

[grayabc1234]

Has it never occured to the ivory tower dwellers of the EU that more than a handful of Europe's citizens don't actually want the EU at all?

[Shoukaze]

I am quite sure it has occurred. The problem is not that a lot of people don't want the EU, the problem is lack of constructive reasoning. People are against the EU by some pseudo nationalistic gut feeling. Because all the actual arguments over what is not working in the EU, are problems that should be solved WITHIN the EU. I'm against a lot of how Europe currently works but it would not occur to me to be so naive as to demand leaving the Union.

[notsobad]

We should take Croatia into the club.

[CallumJ230]

@notsobad Croatia is joining next year

[NoMoreSense]

My Passport is Swiss - I feel European - and I know, I am not the only one.

[Zeptocomp]

I fell same way "NoMoreSense"....I am a danish citizen, but i fell more like an EU citizen, so you are no the only one :)

[oldhacks]

Its a sad day in America

MSNBC has decided to censor Mike Gravel today

watch?v=C8DkRSRk5Sw

[dominican1000]

really interesting! :D

[ethalin]

What I want for Europe right now:

1.Get rid of Strassburg, we only need one EU capital.

2.Turkey should not join the EU, sry, but we are still to far apart.

3. Install a foreign minister that have real power.

4. Get rid of the huge agriculture subsidy, they are way to costly

5. Dont make the EU parliament a huge bureaucracy hole there nothing happens
