Much of it is our own fault. There are situations in which national politicians and the Government blame the European Union for various laws and regulations and for the red tape and bureaucracy. This is very evident in the Department of Agriculture and Food, which tells people that it cannot pay a grant because of a detail in their applications and the guidelines are set in Brussels. People are frustrated by the bureaucracy at the centre of democracy in the European Union. Yesterday we heard a note of arrogance creeping in from the larger nations in the EU, when Italy did a deal for France and Germany with regard to managing their economies under the Stability and Growth Pact while the smaller nations co-operated and took the business of the European Union and the guidelines set by the Commission very seriously. Mr. McCartin said at the end of his presentation that there is a fragility in Europe and I see that in the dominance by the larger nations.
