Some of those voices are considered as "persona non grata" but you are adult enough and citizen for judging their arguments by yourself.

EUROPEAN UNION FOLLIES AND MYTHS

The European Superstate is nearing completion.

The British people are already citizens of this state. It has its own passport, its own anthem, its own flag, and its own currency - the Euro.

In the next four to five years politicians want the EU to have a Europe-wide police force called EuroPol, a single system of law, a single foreign and defence policy with a European army, a single tax system and a single social benefits system. All of this is being organised without your consent and much of it without your knowledge.

must the European Union become kosher?

One can ask about the culinary-customs of the EU-hostel in Hungary, where pork is very popular when he discovers that pork is banished from the card in the EU financed hostel in Budapest....

There is no pork served in the European Youth Centre Budapest

Y sommes-nous déjà?

L'Union Européenne en voie de devenir kosher?

On peut se le demander très sérieusement lorsqu'on lit la carte des menus de l'hôtel de l'Union Européenne à Budapest, capitale d'un pays où la viande de porc est des plus prisées...

There is no pork served in the European Youth Centre Budapest

Sind wir doch schon soweit?

Wird die Europäische Union auch noch kosher?

Das kann man sich ernsthaft fragen, nachdem man den Speiseplan der EU-eigenen Herberge in Budapest gelesen hast...in einem Land, wo Schweinefleisch absolut begehrt ist!

There is no pork served in the European Youth Centre Budapest

Ci siamo già?

L'Unione Europea sta diventando kosher? Si potrebbe crederlo, visto che l'Albergo dell'UE a Budapest proclama sul suo menu che non serve carne di maiale...in un paese dove giustamente il maiale è molto apprezzato...

Interesting curiosities from the EU Parliament
is "een olijf tuin" or a olives plantation a wood or a garden when it belongs to a Queen? It is not easy to respond because this olijf tuin is in German an Olivenhain and Hain is synonym of Wood.

Parliamentary questions
WRITTEN QUESTION E-2413/02
by Michiel van Hulten (PSE) to the Commission

(7 August 2002)

Subject: Further questions concerning the agricultural subsidy granted to Queen Beatrix


And according to the EU law COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No ...1750/1999
of 23 July 1999
laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999 on support for rural development from the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF)


SECTION 8
Forestry
Article 24
Forests excluded from support under Article 29(3) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1757/1999 shall be:
(a) forest or other wooded land owned by central or regional governments, or by government-owned corporations,
(b) crown forest and other wooded land,
(c) forests owned by legal persons at least 50 % of whose capital is held by one of the institutions referred to in points (a) and (b).


Let us see why it could become important. Mr van Hulten, MEP, one of the most dynamic representives in the European Parliament, asked the compent Commissaire, Mr Frischler, how he could explain that the poor House of Oranie (one of the richest families in the world) could apply for subsidies for its olijf-tuin in Porto-Ercole... Ask your MEP about similar intelligent initiatives...

Ist ein königlicher "olijf tuin" ein einfacher Olivengarten oder ein Olivenhain...?
Parlamentarische Anfragen
SCHRIFTLICHE ANFRAGE E-2413/02
von Michiel van Hulten (PSE) an die Kommission

(7. August 2002)

Betrifft: Weitere Fragen betreffend die Königin Beatrix gewährte Agrarbeihilfe


Schauen wir mal, warum diese Frage des rührigen niederl.MEP van Hulten sich so tückisch erweist: Gemäss EU-VERORDNUNG (EG) NR. 1750/1999 DER KOMMISSION
vom 23. Juli 1999
mit Durchführungsvorschriften zur Verordnung (EG) Nr. 1257/1999 des Rates über die Förderung der Entwicklung des ländlichen Raums durch den Europäischen Ausrichtungs- und Garantiefonds für die Landwirtschaft (EAGFL)


ABSCHNITT 8
Forstwirtschaft
Artikel 24
Als Wälder, die von der Förderung gemäß Artikel 29 Absatz 3 der Verordnung (EG) Nr. 1257/1999 ausgeschlossen sind, gelten
a) Wälder oder sonstige bewaldete Flächen, die im Eigentum von Gebietskörperschaften auf zentraler oder regionaler Ebene oder von öffentlichen Unternehmen stehen,
b) Wälder oder sonstige bewaldete Flächen im Eigentum von Königshäusern,
c) Privatwälder im Eigentum juristischer Personen, deren Kapitalvermögen sich zu mindestens 50 % in der Hand einer der unter den Buchstaben a) und b) aufgeführten Einrichtungen befindet.


Mr van H. also hörte davon, dass das arme Haus Oranien (eine der reichsten Familien der Welt) europ.Beihilfen für seinen königlichen Olivenhain in Porto-Ercole beantragt hatte und fragte also bei Kommissar Frischler, wie das so verlaufen sei...


Fragen Sie doch Ihren Europa-Abgeordneten, ob er ähnliche einfallsreiche Anfragen gemacht hat....das macht Ihnen die nächste Entscheidung bei der Europa-Wahl leichter.

Una domanda: una plantazione di olive è un giardino od ha il caractere di un bosco?
Interrogazioni parlamentari
INTERROGAZIONE SCRITTA E-2413/02
di Michiel van Hulten (PSE) alla Commissione

(7 agosto 2002)

Oggetto: Nuove domande sugli aiuti agricoli concessi alla regina Beatrice


Vediamo un po' perché questa domanda del dinamico rappresentante olandese, van Hulten, MEP, si è rivelata talmente perniciosa:

Secondo

SEZIONE 8
Silvicoltura
Articolo 24
Le foreste escluse dal sostegno ai sensi dell'articolo 29, paragrafo 3, del regolamento (CE) n. 1257/1999 sono:
a) le foreste o terreni boschivi appartenenti al demanio statale o regionale, o di proprietà di enti pubblici;
b) le foreste e altri terreni boschivi appartenenti alle case regnanti;
c) le foreste di proprietà di persone giuridiche, il cui capitale è detenuto per almeno il 50 % da uno degli enti menzionati alle lettere a) e b).

Ora, si tratta di boschi o di giardini (tuin in olandese)? Non è cosi facile perché si dice olivenhain in tedesco che vuol dire hain boscho.... si traterebbe di un terreno boschivo...?

Non avvrebbe una tale importanza se una domanda di aiuto finianziario non sarebbe stata richiesta dalla famiglia reale di Olanda, una delle più ricche al mondo, per la sua proprietà di Porto Ercole...

A proposito: domandate al vostro deputato europeo se ha anche fatto domande tanto originali.

Vi sarà di gran aiuto per le prossime elezioni europee saperne la risposta...
