We can debate whether the expansion of the original EEC was wise. But the expansion was mandated. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maastricht_Treaty https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maastricht_Treaty
- AllegedAlec 8y agoLet me rephrase: I believe that the EU overstepped what ought to have been their mandate when they went from industry regulation (ECSC, etc) to a super-governmental government. > The Maastricht Treaty explicitly formed a supranational organization Their is not entirely the case though. The EU is able to deliver some pretty severe penalties to member states not complying with EU mandates laws and regulations.
