Because if they do adjustment in the legislation unlikely can take place in a timely fashion.<br /><br />If present trends continue, which is, say the least, not unlikely with an Euro-crisis in which we effectively have only seen kicking the can at European level, there is a real risk of much larger problems than Mr Cameron going for a structured adjustment of the position of mainly the UK in the treaty.<br /><br />It looks not only time for a rescue operation in the EZ, but also one in Europe/EU itself. The way this is going now, will possibly/likely lead to the voters of one or more EZ countries simply demanding that the theater is stopped one way or another. That would, as said, cause a lot more problems than Mr Cameron does now. Basically they should be happy with the way it is going with the UK issue. It simply looks totally unrealistic that this issue could have blown over in the way the EU would like to have seen it. It would have to be dealt with one way or another, better before it would have totally run out of control and with somebody like Mr Cameron (and eg not a LePen or Wilders clone).<br /><br />One way or another the platform for the EU in the memberstates should be restored. And not only in the UK. <br />Imho either by getting back first to basically something Mr Cameron is proposing or make it real democratic and democratically credible. Or more likely a combination (on basis of what individual countries want).<br />The joke that is now the EP is simply nowhere near that, just look at a few of the last actions there, it is simply as said earlier beyond pathetic and nothing more and certainly no proper representative of the European people. Solve it or the issue is likely further on up the road solving itself. Riknoreply@blogger.com
