In a way, the EC's decision actually acts as a safeguard against this kind of blackmail: a country may be pressured into making a bad deal like this, but EU law renders the deal invalid. And because the EC is not controlled by any single member state, it can't treat any single nation different from the others.
- zigzigzag 10y agoIreland wasn't really pressured, was it? You can phrase your post another way - the EU "safeguards" members against making their own decisions and possibly becoming more attractive than the others. And because the EC is not controlled by any single member state, it can't treat any single nation different from the others. Tell that to Jean-Claude "it's different because it's France" Juncker!
