I totally agree with anish! I think United States of Europe can be a good ansver for the position of the USA! I think all the member states must have there own identity, language, etc. But with a single currency (like the EURO) and with a big market without borders and limitations would be great! I am waiting for the day when I can pay with € in Hungary (of corse I can pay with it today, but its not the same)! With the € we can feel, that we are really one part of Europe!

each country should be controlled by it's own government without the involvment of some people in Brussel. Ok, it can be good in some political question like military defense, trade agreements, but EU has gotten to much control over the individual contries and their own government.
it's not for nothing that the swedish people voted against EMU and euro last year |

i agree with cytech. in thre uk, people are happy being part of the eu but are getting fed up with the changes they are making. all countries are different and have there own heritages to preserve.

I think as long as each countries' independance, heritage and tradition is preserved, then it would be a good thing. There's been a lot of negative press over the years here in the UK about the EU - huge amounts of taxpayers' money going in farm subsidies, stupid regulations trying to pointlessly regulate things like banana size, curviness of cucumbers, etc. and something about wanting to rename British chocolate 'Vegelate' because of using vegitable fat or something....
Anyway, I think it depends on that countries' economy and the way it does things. From what I can gather a lot of economies on the continent are quite socialist, whilst the UK's is more like the USA's, so our economy being controlled by Brussels would be a very bad thing for us.
Oh, and we've finally been given a referendum on joining the Euro.... at some stage. Did people in other EU countries all get a referendum on this or not before you joined up?

We (Slovaks) had the referendum about joining to EU. It was very close for joining to EU. Ppl in our country are thinking that membership in EU is a necessary evil . I hope that nobody will be measuring lengh of cucumbers,carrot or whatever from May of 1 st.'cause I've got a garden (joke). On the other hand everything we can expect from EU red tapes.

not everyboda here, in hungary, is happy for it. but i think its not a question of mood, more of logical thinking. we need the eu. i am for it, even i would be more satisfied to march in with better conditions from our side, i mean industrial and political aswell.
