It was implicit in Senator Burke's contribution that too often people equate the European Union with unnecessary bureaucratic meddling. It must be pointed out that the meddling and bureaucracy are more domestic than European. There has been a tendency for politicians to blame Europe for issues regarded as unpopular. That is a dishonest approach because nothing comes out of Europe that ultimately does not have the imprimatur of the Governments of member states. We should not lose sight of this.
