Brussels farce over naming of a corridor

Posted by Administrator (annabelle) on Jul 16 2012

SEVENTY-SIX Eurocrats met to name a CORRIDOR — but failed to reach a decision.

Brussels chiefs — accused of dithering over the economic meltdown — discussed it during a top-level debate.

But they couldn’t agree and passed the issue to a committee — which must REPORT back to them.

European Parliament president Martin Schulz was at the May 9 meeting of its Bureau, which debates strategy.

Minutes show it began with a request to name a corridor in the Altiero Spinelli building in Brussels The Baltic Way — after a peaceful 1989 mass protest against Soviet rule.

 

Tory MP Philip Davies said it proved the EU elite are “detached from reality”.

UK Independence Party chief Nigel Farage said: “This is straight out of TV’s Yes, Prime Minister.

“It’s about fighting over support of a couple of Baltic MEPs.”

FIVE other debates the EU Bureau could hold:

  1. Should meetings use blue, black or red pens?
  2. Should it have static or revolving chairs?
  3. How many paperclips should it buy this year?
  4. Are the bananas at its lunches too bendy?
  5. Should its Christmas party be a buffet or sit-down meal?

And if it manages to solve those, perhaps it could look at the euro crisis which threatens global meltdown.
