There will be meeting rooms and areas where visiting dignitaries can "be served in ceremonial lounges". The European Union summits take place four times a year. One of Mr Cameron's Conservative party colleagues went even further and slammed what he described as "The extravagance and the cost of this Aladdin's Palace.

That budget was respected until now. Due to the index of construction costs, the effective total bill at the end of has already reached million euros. But who wants this museum?

Official site According to the Brussels news site Bruzz , the project cost almost 56 million euros. The renovation of the building cost 31 million euros and the permanent exhibition cost 21 million euros, of which six million euros for "multilingualism". In addition, for the expansion of the collection, the EU had to pay 3.

New building for the European Parliament: Trebel is scheduled to be finished in the first half of to accommodate officials working for the EU assembly after MEPs have over the last two years awarded themselves more cash for parliamentary assistants. The Bureau of the European Parliament has announced that the new European Parliament building currently under construction in Brussels Trebel site, Rue Belliard will be named the Wilfried Martens building.

Source Follow the Telegraph correspondent Bruno Waterfeld video visiting the four mentioned buildings in Brussels. A failed experiment in pan-European democracy? Yet they also play the role of a second European Parliament but they only have to justify on the national level. Their members do not recognize or accept publicly neither electorally the responsibility for the role they play in the European legislative process and in the broad political direction that the continent sails.

Without direct democratic control, they can not be called to account, even on the national level. If the EP and the Council of Ministers do not agree about a law, no approval of the law takes place. Trilogues have become the main tool by which EU legislation comes about, but they take place behind closed doors with very little public information about the negotiation process. A comment by Harald Schumann on the Tagesspiegel. If the EU parliament or at least its pro-European majority take themselves seriously, they should reject Timmermans' plan altogether and call for the exact opposite, a reform facilitating European citizens' initiatives and finally allowing referendums.

The EU needs more democracy, not less. Otherwise its days are numbered. MEPs are asking the parliament to withhold millions of euros from the European Commission to force greater transparency in the Brussels executive. In one sense, the commission has an inbuilt advantage. As the EU's civil service, it is the one of the three institutions with the most permanence.

Both MEPs and government ministers have to seek re-election. The rotating council presidencies only last six months. In truth, the trialogue meetings themselves are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to secret lawmaking. The transfer of power during the previous months to the supranational institutions has reached proportions never realised in history since world war II. This transfer happened without the participation of the citizens. A single currency was imposed as part of the objective of a high level of employment and of social protection, the raising of the standard of living and quality of life, and economic and social cohesion and solidarity among Member States.

Treaty on European Union, Maastricht, 7 February But unemployment and misery was the fate for the people in many southern countries. The Guardian , Ten years on, what Britain can learn from the Swedish euro referendum. It was a system based on the hopelessly flawed assumption that politicians and central bankers would make the right decisions all the time.

The euro is a political project without stable economical ground. These two shortcomings, the democratic deficit and the 'euro megalomania' need further explanation. The history of the EU shows clearly that the democratic deficit has taken enormous proportions. The number of countries which have had the opportunity to vote the new treaties, is very limited.

Many countries which have received the choice, voted against the transfer of sovereignty. One concludes that the European Union is completely built on quicksand. The EU construction could only become reality by omitting any consultation of the population! This is a very dangerous element making the whole construction very instable. Each country has its own history and culture. Most countries have fought for independence during years. Now we see how, during last years, they have given up much of their sovereignity in the hands of unchosen politicians!

Popper argues that democracy should be founded upon a 'theory of check and balances': The major check is provided by periodic elections that enable people to 'oust their government without using violent means': Karl Poppers Idea Of Democracy. Meanwhile, more and more power is transfered from the national level to supranational institutions. But don't we have the right to question it? When did the citizens make the choice to relieve the politicians of their task to take decisions on the national level and transfer this power to a technocratic supranational government?

It has become obvious that the whole construction of the EU building shows serious faults. In the Netherlands, the following proposal has been laid down: For all their concerns with global competitiveness, migration and terrorism, only one prospect truly terrifies the Powers of Europe: They speak in democracy's name but only to deny, exorcise and suppress it in practice.

They seek to co-opt, evade, corrupt, mystify, usurp and manipulate democracy in order to break its energy and arrest its possibilities. For the EU will either be democratised or it will disintegrate! We call on our fellow Europeans to join us forthwith to create the European movement which we call DiEM To fight together, against a European establishment deeply contemptuous of democracy, to democratise the European Union To end the reduction of all political relations into relations of power masquerading as merely technical decisions To subject the EU's bureaucracy to the will of sovereign European peoples To dismantle the habitual domination of corporate power over the will of citizens To re-politicise the rules that govern our single market and common currency.

Podemos organises on February a workshop in Madrid to prepare a "plan B for Europe", described as a holistic approach to EU's crisis. The crises within and beyond our borders are affecting directly our citizens' lives.

In challenging times, a strong Union is one that thinks strategically, shares a vision and acts together. This is even more true after the British referendum. We will indeed have to rethink the way our Union works, but we perfectly know what to work for. Shared Vision, Common Action: A stronger Europe About military integration: For Europe, soft and hard power go hand in hand. A stronger Europe says:. The leaders and citizens of Europe must no longer live in two separate worlds. We must restore the unity of Europe. We the peoples of Europe cannot be free individually if we are not free together.

If we unite our forces, we shall succeed; if we pull in different directions, we shall fail. Together we are strength, disunited we are weakness.

Either together, or not at all - today this is the law. But, if the regimes of Western Europe are so concerned about freedom of speech, or open borders, or free trade, let them set the example by embracing such things. We shouldn't hold our breath. To do this would require these states to scale back their welfare states as open borders are incompatible with welfare states , to embrace free speech which France and Germany reject, and to allow true free trade, which of course is a non-starter among the European elites of today.

But, this doesn't stop the EU from lecturing its less powerful member states about what freedom means. It's doubtful they see the irony, though. Not only open borders have never solved any problems, but they have not even been designed to solve a problem. Like the euro, it was a non-solution to a non-problem, the only goal, unacknowledged, was to force the peoples of Europe to form the United States of Europe. I think that the nation is in fact the best and even the only framework within which the migration crisis can be treated simply because it is only at the national level that politicians have the authority to act.

In fact, the European Commission only works when managing non-controversial, essentially non-political cases. Each country wants to actually take a different migration policy. If Germany threatens to bring Europe again into the abyss because of its superiority complex this time the superiority of unlimited universalism and humanitarianism , other countries will have to guard against it developing their own immigration policies and the defense of their borders.

This has already begun. The EU destroys what makes Europe unique and wonderful, namely its cultural diversity, its democracy, its political organization on a human scale and fruitful competition between its countries. Therefore, the opening of borders is the manifestation of this deadly disease. Less than 3 billion euros, apparently. The European border force could take control of the bloc's external frontiers - even if a government objected. Keep Talking Greece Is this a German plan?

Will this plan bring about a Brussels, Berlin and Frankfurt-controlled superstate? I agree with President Zeman and his views about the refugees. We cannot kill our continent in the name of humanity "First of all, Europe must act responsibly towards the Europeans. We cannot kill our continent in the name of humanity. In , there will be more muslims in Brussels than Europeans. I cannot imagine such a situation in the Czech Republic, our people will not accept this. They want the Czechs to be a majority. Let anyone employ whom they want to employ but it must be our Czech firms that will decide this.

Brussels will not be dictating to us whom to employ. This is something that European politicians support! That an arriving minority may stand up with the demand that the native majority should remove their religious symbols because it hurts the sensibilities of the arrivals. This endangers the democratic basis of the EU. Turkey shows more and more autocratic features.

Since several year I follow the 'progress reports' of Turkey. In fact these were reports of deterioration. How do they restrict freedom of the press? After China, Turkye is the greatest prison for journalists. How do they reduce civil rights? It is obvious, Turkey does not belong to the EU.

The cause of this malaise? Merkel has driven the EU into a blind adventure: In October in Turkey, Merkel unilaterily promised three things: Today, Erdogan receives from the EU: We agree with financial support to push back the refugees. We are still there, where somewhere from outside Hungary, they want to tell us whom we, Hungarians, need to live with.

This is what this quota is about. I recommend to the Esteemed House to still not accept this. Let's keep sticking to deciding for ourselves whom we want to let in, whom we want to live with.

The obligatory settlement quota is, completely simply, NOT Europe. It stands in sharp contrast to the spirit of Europe. It is pointless, because it does not fix the crisis, but deepens it. It can be easily seen that the obligatory settlement quota does not keep migrants away but rather acts as an invitation. It does not lessen the pressure, but increases it. And due to the suddenly increased pressure, the European nations will restore their internal EU borders. If this continues, then it's only a matter of time.

This will mean the end of the Schengen system, and freedom of movement. The obligatory quota, my esteemed representatives, is also unlawful, since the EU leaders do not have authority to make such a decision in this question. They have no authority to force a single member nation such a measure concerning refugees and migrants that the given nation does not want. In the light of the terror attacks, Brussels can especially no longer deny that member nations have the right to defend themselves.

Namely, the obligatory settlement quota is dangerous because it would dessiminate terrorism throughout Europe. Esteemed House, esteemed President, facts and tragic events point out that we need a new kind of European politics. It is not enough to pat and patch and fix up the old. I recommend that we cast aside the dogmas, forget political correctness, let's speak straightforward and open. I recommend that we return from the world of ideologies back to common sense. And to rethink European politics on the basis of four self-evident commandments.

First of all, we must protect the external borders of the European Union because security begins with the protection of borders. Second, we must protect our culture, because the essence of Europe lies in its spiritual and cultural identity. Third, we must protect our economic interests, because we Europeans must remain central to the world economy. And fourth, we must give the People the right to be able to influence European decisions, because the Union must stand on democratic grounds.

Esteemed representatives, the European citizens did NOT want hundreds of thousands of unknown aliens to illegaly and in an uncontrolled manner cross our borders and trample our countries. People want to live in safety and they want to enjoy the advantages of the EU. And for us parliamentary representatives, and to governments across Europe, our job is to hear the voice of the people.

This is exactly what happened to states living inside the USSR. What is being made clear here with Greece and indeed with Portugal is that a country only has democratic rights if it's in favour of the [European] project. If not, those rights are taken away" 23 October For the first time since the creation of Europe's monetary union, a member state has taken the explicit step of forbidding eurosceptic parties from taking office on the grounds of national interest.

Anibal Cavaco Silva, Portugal's constitutional president, has refused to appoint a Left-wing coalition government even though it secured an absolute majority in the Portuguese parliament and won a mandate to smash the austerity regime bequeathed by the EU-IMF Troika. Brussels really has created a monster. Temporary Grexit idea was backed by 15 nations, Schaeuble claims in documentary "The proposal for a temporary Greek withdrawal from the euro area, put forward by Berlin during negotiations in Brussels in mid-July, was backed by 15 out 19 eurozone nations, German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble has said.

Meanwhile in his salon the hard autocrat Erdogan let sparkle the tinsel before Merkel's eyes pleading for assistance. She showed the euros bulging her bags, lay flat on her stomach and her stern Turkish master was allowed to put his foot on her neck. Geert van Istendael in "www. I am not confident. Merkel has set up an informal system of governance that works fairly well, inside and outside Germany: President Obama is the key outside partner. A Merkel-centric "power-horizontal" sets up a very different union from the one that governments have agreed to in the treaties. Instead of Brussels, Berlin has become the power center.

Neither federalists nor nationalists are happy with that.

It poses a vexing political problem for the largely pro-EU Dutch government, which has already ratified the Ukraine pact. Thus, the Russians view the deposit for the fourth quarter of and the first quarter of as done. Russia grants a discount to Ukraine. With the payment by the EU taxpayers also Europe's gas supply should be ensured in the winter. Merkel's unknown agenda with the refugees] " Viktor Orban's policy is supported by an overwhelming majority in Hungary.

The same is true for the Slovakia and the Czech Republic. Here you can hear: And now comes the EU and does the same thing. This means that 90 percent of all refugees must follow language courses and training. This means that probably these people will be in four years available to the labour market. The integration now has its price tag, its bounty.

The radical reducing of the people to a cost and production factor is promoted just by those who otherwise fulminate against the exploitation. For global vagabonding capital, the influx of refugees is a historic opportunity: If it is possible to move hundreds of thousands of people and to turn them into cheap production forces, profits can gush - without that companies need to take the cost of a production shift on their shoulders.

If the experiment is successful, the Union's power is broken forever. Owen Jones in "www. The Union is configured so that the German voice is dominant. That is striking definitely seeing the saving measures in the whole economy. Germany imposes that system on to Europe. That has turned out dramatically for a number of countries. Is it still an independent country? It is a debt colony which carries out measures which itself does not want. Sahra Wagenknecht in "www. In practice, it doesn't work because democracy needs a space where it can live and where people also can track and supervise what politicians do.

This space is still the individual States, not Europe. The European Parliament is infinitely far away from the general public and the Commission is a technocratic structure. Therefore, the companies have an easy game to capture these institutions for their interests. In the national context, it is slightly more difficult. The Switzerland is a wonderful example, how direct democracy works. If Switzerland would be a member of the EU and eurozone, the citizens could no longer vote on various subjects. Already today the EU Commission interferes in the banking system even to the level of municipal services, to the general interest of the Member States.

And in the future, Brussels technocrats want to govern the wage policy. In addition to 14 airports, which are taken over by the German Fraport AG [which runs Frankfurt Airport among others], now also almost the entire state infrastructure is for sale. Gas, water, electricity, ports, road networks - everything must go! To obtain the commitments for new loans of international donors, Greece had to recently embark on far-reaching austerity measures. Daniel Munevar in "www. So this deal simply postpones the inevitable.

Because it's clear at this point that there is not enough political will in the eurozone to fix the structural problems of the euro. This is due to the easing of policies during the last year, with the recent deterioration in the domestic macroeconomic and financial environment because of the closure of the banking system adding significantly to the adverse dynamics. The financing need through end is now estimated at Euro 85 billion and debt is expected to peak at close to percent of GDP in the next two years, provided that there is an early agreement on a program.

The German finance minister splits publicly with Chancellor Angela Merkel for the first time. Addressing lawmakers in Athens on Tuesday, Tsipras gave no sign of backing down in the standoff over Greece's bailout. Instead, he blasted the IMF's adherence to austerity and accused the European Central Bank of using tactics that were akin to "financial asphyxiation. The Greek government is negotiating with a plan, and has presented nuanced counterproposals. We will patiently wait for the institutions adhere to realism. Those who perceive our sincere wish for a solution and our attempts to bridge the differences as a sign of weakness, should consider the following:.

We are shouldering the dignity of our people, as well as the hopes of the people of Europe. We cannot ignore this responsibility. This is not a matter of ideological stubbornness. This is about democracy. We do not have the right to bury European democracy in the place where it was born. The protester who 'attacked' Mario Draghi "The most powerful man in Europe was attacked by a year-old activist on Wednesday, causing chaos at the European Central Bank.

It has become increasingly clear that it is trying to harm the Greek economy in order to increase pressure on the new Greek government to agree to its demands. It could hardly be more obvious that this is not about money or fiscal sustainability, but about politics. This is a government that European authorities didn't want, and they wish to show who is boss.

And they really don't want this government to succeed, which would encourage Spanish voters to opt for a democratic alternative - Podemos - later this year. Ambassador Gianna Angelopoulos in " www. This created a considerable Twitter storm, with lots of angry people saying the ECB's action was beyond its mandate and far too precipitate:
