I was pretty skeptical about this too, but looking into it there is some basis in fact. They're using it to help translate and integrate the "Acquis communautaire" - the huge body of EU laws and regulations that need to be enshrined in national laws of candidate countries. This is one of the most time-consuming parts of the process, and usually takes many years. Leaving aside how risky this is (presumably they will have checks in place), I can see how this could save years of work. Saying 5.5 years is ridiculous false precision though.
It won't help with the toughest part though, which is the politics of the other member states.
- Jensson 3y agoTranslating that doesn't seem to take very long though. Looked up an example, Sweden voted to enter EU 13 nov 1994, and legally entered and had thus finished incorporating that into their legislation 1 jan 1995, so 1.5 months at most. Not sure what 5.5 years means, maybe they meant the total amount of working years in manhours saved?
- ascorbic 3y agoThe incorporation of the acquis is part of the negotation process, and had already been completed by the time of the referendum. It had started in 1991, which was unusually fast.
