I would rather ask who would benefited by a EU break up. Germany? France? The small states like Greece or Portugal? No, the biggest beneficiaries would be England and her partner USA, because a united EU would not be a puppy as the actual 27, well, 28 puppies of USA. the so call euroceptics, pay by UK-US and its ngos would try hard to break it up. In my humble oppinion, EU must need a better control of their problems just like any other state and not to break up because there are problems.. What we need is a more unify Europe to fight against hegemonic control, for example, end all external military bases and nuclear weapons stationed in EU and begin to develop a unify army and foreign policy to defend our interests and not the interests of the judaico-american empire as we see know.  Unfortunately, it may take two or more generation to fullfil this dream, if US would not sabotage in the meantime. But US negative action to destroy a unified EU is already exposed to the nake eyes. For example, the way USA took to obtain all european personal dates and banks tranfers data without reciprocation. A good beginning to realize who is the real enemy of a United Europe.

Eurocrats are worthless, unelected, overpaid, over-privileged parasites who make rules and decisions for people in areas of Europe they have never visited and never will.  

Those money that Brussels use to spend coming from the tax payers.   In return, those same money could invest in the euro zone or european union to have strong growth rate in the euro zone or european union coming in the year.

The money is not missing it has been wasted and spent on projects that have not gone anywhere.

4,5 billion missing? Is that some kind of unfunny joke? Everybody with a mom-and-pop shop will go to court and probably prison if he or she is missing 100€ in accounting and they lose 4,5 billion and nothing happens??? Are that the cliche African 3rd world countries they always talk about, but located in Europe? And where did the money go? Some investigative journalism would be appreciated.

Man, this has to be the most kicked can in the histry of the world. Once again, these criminals are simply plugging the gaping wound that is the Euro with fiat money. Nothing is being solved; nothing is being cured. This action (and policy) does nothing more than perpetuate the very problem they are trying to stymie. But, I have to keep reminding myself that this is part of the plan...austerity, loss of sovereignty, enforcement of draconian economic measures...all part and parcel of the master plan to bring the world to it's knees. And then? Why, at that point, we will need world government! Obviously, (they will say) we cannot seem to function as independent states. They will point to the wars (which they helped create) and say we cannot live in peace as independent entitities. They will point to the collapse of the markets and say, "See where this has gotten us?" (Though they created the mess by design). I have to remind myself that such a mind numbing conspiracy to rule the world is afoot and alive. Ian Fleming never dreamed so large. His villainous foes were just adorable next to what is being pulled off right before our eyes and under our noses. The true rub is that THEY know WE know, and they are so far along in thier plans and confident of thier imminent success, that they simply don't even care that we know, because they realize the futility of resistance. I would love to say, "Vote them out!" , but the pol's (Obama on down in ALL parties worldwide) are just tools for the global elite. Vote schmote, they say...it's all the same to them when they own the soul of every politician weilding any significant degree of power. Checkmate.

I like this from the article:  "The project will see the demolition of an existing building and the creation of a new one. The cost? One hundred and twenty-five million euro, 15 million of which will come from the EU budget."That is not very "green" of them, is it?  They talk about ecology and carbon load, but then they plan to tear down a useable building and raise another in its place.  Wouldn't it be cheaper and produce less rubbish for land fills if they renovated the building that is already there?  Seems as if the EU government is not following its own sermons.

Have a Break Have a KitKat

It seems that Germany is in hand cuff by under the military occupation of the United States. As such its conduct is directed by the United States financial might Goldman Sach, Geithner and company. The Italyial govt  is also under Gold man sach direct control and management. Greece among the Euros is in a real bad financial situation and a bail out is not practical as the evident debt burden is too much to carry. As a matter of fact trying to solve the Euro Crisis peacemeal seems crasy. As one problem is apparently soved a leak is occuring in another area. The have to sit together and find creative solutions. Sarkozy objective is to win the French ecections and he sees leaning on Merkel shoulder will lead him to success; he do not care otherwise. At the end of the day it seems the Euro Zone is heading for collapse unless the BRICKS countries are approached for help. However, European pride may be an inhibiting factor to start this ball rolling. China has already been approached but it seems the Europeans have rejected Chinese conditions for help. So, they are in a holding or haggling pattern while Rome burns.

Run away as soon as possible ...&nb sp;Save, what you can save . ..

For Greece, Spain, Portugal and other countries that are f urther from the German’s heart, it is best to get out as quickly as possible of the eagle’s&n bsp;nest. Excep t if the countries have& nbsp;even more surplus resourc es to donate, they can still  stay there. Is not it clear that these  ;puppets would lose their underpant s, if they remain in the unnatural commu nity - the EU? Yes, b ut the IMF , and that institution kno ws how far to go - to the final plunder&n bsp;of these countries. Not to mention those that are " struggling" to join the EU, in cluding the countries of former Yugoslav ia. What g ood there,  ;just waiting for them?  Artificial euro  or what else? The war in an innocent&nbs p;country? What , what ... T hese are miserable&n bsp;countries; they can never become part of something that does not really  ;exist.

I guess it is simply impossible to micro manage the kind of money it takes to run a central government system. The whole concept of having so many senior beaurocrats working in one place spells disaster, as they are totally divorced from the reality of the people they are meant to be serving. I wonder how much money each person gets for allowances and how much they fiddle those? Being such a big entity it is an impossible way to keep costs down. A 'saving' is always at the expense of investment into a needed service, not the actual beaurocratic machine. I think it has just become a self serving oversised sink hole of expense, when it would be far more efficient to dissolve it and go back to each country managing it's own internal fiscal affairs. How can you stop a stam roller running down a hill out of control and no breaks? A Crash, or someone actually getting on board to take control. It looks to me as though neither has happened so far. What happens to the ordinary person who pays tax and has to fund this disaster for decades?

to see they saved 4 billion.  Now where does that 4 billion go.
