Reading Franz Kafka there is at least one takeaway: bureaucracy is corruption. Having said this, the corruption of EU, bureaucratic or otherwise, in Bruxelles but also randomly from the French/German government to Slovenian or Romanian governments, puts the US with their legalized lobby to shame. There is a reason why PricewaterhouseCoopers, Deloitte, KPMG or Ernst & Young have headquarters in Europe, they want to learn from the masters [1]. Perhaps someone will write by the year 2500 a monograph with the title/subtitle: EU funding programmes—the downfall of Europe: how hundreds of billions were spent so that police officers, judges, customs officers, secret services officers, politicians and their friends and relatives used public funding to build holiday homes for the bed-and-breakfast "industry" and "start-ups" in the pretzel "industry" [2]. At least the trillions the DOD pumps into Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, and their friends ensure the US military supremacy, the EU is supreme in publicly-funded pretzels and craft beer, manufactured with Chinese machinery.
