Who Will Exit the EU Next?



By Adriano Bosoni
The European Union's future has been up for debate since the Continent's economic crisis began nearly a decade ago. But questions about the bloc's path have multiplied in recent years as Greece came close to quitting the eurozone and the United Kingdom voted to relinquish its EU membership for good. "The bloc's demise is not a matter of if, but when," Euroskeptics insisted, to which their Europhile peers replied, "The union is irreversible."
Yet like all political creations, the European Union is a momentary construction in the vast expanse of history. One day it will disappear, to be replaced by other entities, or it will continue in name only, looking and operating far differently from the European Union of today. It is impossible to know exactly when this transformation will happen or just how long the process will take. There are some clues, however, as to how the new Europe will come about and, perhaps even more important, what the agent of change will be. If anything, the Continent's current crisis is a stark reminder that despite decades of attempts to weaken it, the nation-state remains the most powerful political unit in the European Union. And as it emerges from the rubble of the Continent's latest experiment in integration, it will play a crucial role in charting Europe's course forward.

A Union That's Anything but Uniform 

Not all EU members are created equal. Losing a member that belongs to the eurozone, for example, poses a much bigger threat to the rest of the system than the departure of one that does not. The prospect of Greece quitting the currency area in 2015 was probably more frightening to France and Germany than Britain's decision to leave the bloc a year later. To be sure, both events would have serious consequences for the European Union, but a Grexit would have immediately shaken the financial foundation of the entire eurozone. The consequences of the Brexit, however, will be more gradual.
Support for EU institutions likewise varies from country to country. According to the Pew Research Center, 72 percent of Poles see the European Union positively — a view only 38 percent of Frenchmen share. Meanwhile, the latest Eurobarometer poll has put support for the eurozone at a whopping 82 percent in Luxembourg, compared with a mere 54 percent in Italy. The Euroskepticism sweeping the Continent has assumed different forms wherever it has taken root: France's National Front advocates leaving the European Union, while Italy's Five Star Movement calls for abandoning only the eurozone. At the same time, moderate political parties are increasingly seeking to end the free movement of workers and to reintroduce border controls, even as they hold onto their EU membership.
Amid these varying demands and faced with the prospect of a Grexit and Brexit, the European Union is being forced to consider the process for leaving the union and whether countries should be allowed to remain members of some parts of the bloc and not others. During discussions on the Greek bailout last year, some countries argued that leaving the eurozone also meant leaving the European Union. Others proposed ways to suspend Athens' membership in the currency area while preserving its place in the Continental bloc. A year later, the same debates are being had about Britain. Several EU members have said that access to Europe's internal market comes at price — namely, accepting EU workers — while others have proved more open to finding a compromise. Regardless of how the talks between London and Brussels shake out over the next few years, they will eventually result in a roadmap for leaving the bloc that other members could use to guide their own departures.
Of course, this raises another question: Why would countries want to leave the European Union or its structures in the first place? Again, the answer depends on the member. Some governments, whether backed by a popular referendum or parliamentary approval, might voluntarily choose to leave. Studies like the latest Eurobarometer, which showed that the Continent's trust in the European Union dropped sharply from 57 percent in 2007 to 33 percent in 2016, suggest that the British referendum may not be the last of its kind. On the other hand, some governments might be forced out of the bloc, should they become politically or financially unable to accept the conditions attached to retaining their membership. (Athens, for instance, made a conscious decision to consent to creditors' demands in order to stay in the eurozone.) Still others could depart as the entities they belong to dissolve, either as the result of a consensual decision or because of an existential crisis.

Likelihood and Consequence 

Which countries choose to renounce their membership in the European Union or its institutions will determine the bloc's fate. The organization could probably weather Croatia's departure, but it would not survive France's. There is also something to be said for the strength in numbers: The flight of a single, small economy would not endanger the European Union, but a coordinated exit of several assuredly would.
Certain political and geographic factors will affect members' chances of someday withdrawing from the Continental bloc. A large Euroskeptic population could pressure its government to opt out of the European Union, or encourage politicians to do so in pursuit of higher approval ratings. Countries with strong economies or strategic locations on the Continent could use their advantages to wrangle a better exit deal — or to exact concessions from Brussels in exchange for staying in the bloc. Members with weaker economies, meanwhile, may have less choice in the matter, since they would likely be the first casualties of any new EU crisis to arise.
By and large, EU members can be divided into four categories of countries based on the likelihood and consequences of their departure from the union.

The Outsiders 

In recent years, some of the European Union's harshest critics have been Central and Eastern European members that do not belong to the eurozone. Many of these countries view the European Union as a pact among states that should remain sovereign, and they have guarded their national powers from Brussels' ever-expanding reach. Hungary and Poland lead the pack in their resistance to deeper European integration, but states like the Czech Republic, Romania and Bulgaria have become similarly skeptical of the eurozone and proposals to increase Brussels' authority.
This is not to say that these countries are willing to desert the bloc. All are net receivers of EU aid and subsidies, and they see EU membership as a route to modernizing their economies and attracting foreign investment. Some even view the bloc as a guarantee of the West's protection against Russian aggression. The majority of voters in the region, moreover, still support the idea of staying in the European Union.
Nevertheless, Central and Eastern European states will not hesitate to assert their national rights and advocate weaker EU institutions. Their opposition to integration will lend momentum to Euroskeptic movements across the Continent seeking to renegotiate terms with Brussels. Over time, persistent anti-EU rhetoric could boost nationalist and populist forces in the region, cornering governments into making decisions that may run counter to their strategic goals.

The Fragile Periphery 

By comparison, countries in the eurozone's periphery tend to support deeper European integration, though they are also among the most vulnerable economies in the bloc. These states, which include Greece, Portugal and Spain, rely on EU subsidies and development funds to stay afloat. They will continue to back the concept of Continental integration as long as it means financial aid for their foundering economies.
The region has had its own complaints about the European Union, but most did not appear until the Continent's financial crisis — and the austerity measures that followed — began. Even then, instead of the right-wing nationalism that emerged elsewhere in the bloc, these countries largely supported left-wing parties that wanted to increase spending and restructure debt rather than close borders or restrict immigration. (Right-wing nationalism rose somewhat in Greece, but it did not rise nearly as dramatically as it did in Northern Europe.)
The states along the eurozone's southern edge may leave the currency zone at some point. But if they do, it is more likely to be in response to an unexpected crisis than a planned decision. Though these countries have similar visions of what they think the European Union looks like in the future, their political and economic weakness will make it difficult for them to form an effective alliance and to take charge of the bloc's decision-making process. And as weak growth, feeble banking sectors, large debts and high unemployment continue to take an economic toll, these countries' traditionally pro-Europe populations could slowly start to turn on the bloc.

The Coalition Builders 

The closer Euroskepticism creeps to the Continent's economic and political core, the more dangerous it will become for the bloc. Northern European countries such as Austria, Finland and the Netherlands are some of the eurozone's richest and most fiscally disciplined members. These states are largely preoccupied with protecting their national wealth from Southern Europe, and they have strong Euroskeptic parties that seek to defend their sovereignty against the interference of EU institutions. That said, they also have an incentive, given their economies' reliance on exports, to protect their markets abroad — most of which belong to the European Union.
Northern European countries tend to coordinate their moves with their neighbors and with larger powers. They are far more likely to collectively push for Continental reform or for the creation of regional blocs than they are to risk their own isolation by acting unilaterally. Though states like Denmark and Sweden are not part of the eurozone, they are culturally and ideologically similar to their counterparts in Northern Europe and could someday join them in a regional replacement for the European Union. Talk of forming a "northern eurozone" or "northern Schengen" has become common in this part of Europe.
Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia are in some ways an exception, though. They joined the European Union and eurozone to discourage Russian aggression by linking themselves as closely to the West as possible. As the home of the European Union's most important institutions, Belgium is also set apart from its Northern European neighbors, and regional politics often take precedence over national efforts to chip away at the bloc's influence. Each of these countries is unlikely to leave the European Union or eurozone of its own volition, though they could become part of a northern alliance should the bloc dissolve.

The Big Three 

If the nation-state will be the primary agent of the European Union's coming transformation, it stands to reason that the bloc's largest members — Germany, France and Italy — will be at the forefront of it.
Italy has historically seen European integration as a means to tie itself to its prosperous northern neighbors and to preserve the unity of the country. But over the past decade, Italians have become some of the Continent's most Euroskeptic citizens, thanks to their country's skyrocketing debt and political instability. Italy is therefore one of the countries that is most likely to use the threat of its exit to squeeze concessions from Brussels. Rome has already leaned on the "too big to fail" argument in its negotiations with the European Union, and future Italian administrations are likely to do the same. But as Europe continues to fragment, each threat will become more dangerous to the bloc than the last.
France and Germany, meanwhile, hold the key to the European Union's future. Even the suggestion of a French or German exit from the bloc or its currency zone would risk triggering a massive structural overhaul. By the same token, the two countries' continued buy-in could be enough to keep the European Union — or some version of it — together. But France and Germany face a paradoxical problem: For strategic reasons they need to maintain a united front, but their national interests continue to pull them apart.
France, as both a Mediterranean and Northern European nation, has found itself torn between a desire to protect its economy and the need to preserve its alliance with Germany. Paris tends to support protectionist and risk-sharing measures, and it has a high tolerance for inflation. Berlin, however, prefers to avoid policies that threaten its wealth and share the risk created by Southern Europe's weak economies. Germany would only agree to France's approach if Berlin were given more control over the fiscal policies of its neighbors — something many countries would find unacceptable. Of the two, France is more likely to act first in demanding the European Union's reorganization because of its rising nationalism and sluggish economic growth. But Germany, hamstrung by its own national interests, would find it tough to compromise with its longtime partner.
At this point, reaching a consensus on a path forward has become all but impossible for the European Union's members. To knit themselves even closer together, EU states would have to compromise on issues that are too important to budge on. The alternative option — reversing European integration — is gaining ground, but it comes with the very real possibility of leading to the bloc's complete dismantling. Members could take a middle road of sorts by choosing to keep things as they are, but even inaction would come at a price, promising even greater problems for the troubled bloc down the line.

TTIP


Immaginate che l’Unione Europea debba crollare domani, o comunque a breve: gli europei scenderebbero nelle strade a ballare. La UE è diventata un autentico serbatorio di paura e terrore: sanzioni economiche, punizioni, militarizzazione, abolizione dei diritti civili per gran parte degli europei.

Un ristretto gruppo di tecnocrati non eletti, rappresentanti di 28 paesi, e molti dei quali inadatti a servire nel sistema politico del loro paese ma abbastanza ben collegati tanto da ottenere un posto di lavoro ben pagato a Bruxelles, sta decidendo il futuro dell'Europa. In piccoli gruppi, spesse volte stanno decidendo il futuro dei popoli europei, chiusi in stanze segrete.
Considerate il TTIP — sotto la pressione dei loro padroni a Washington, dietro a porte chiuse e nella più totale segretezza, e molto probabilmente contro i loro stessi interessi — un piccolo gruppo di delegati senza scrupoli della Commissione Europea (CE) sono pronti a mettere 500 milioni di europei e loro discendenti in pericolo, senza alcun rispetto per i loro concittadini, senza considerazione per i loro stessi figli, nipoti e pronipoti, interessati solo alle onoreficenze immediate e, statene certi, alle gratifiche da parte dei colonialisti, usurpatori e guerrafondati Stati Uniti del Caos e dell'Omicidio.

Non si ripeterà mai abbastanza quali sono gli orrori che il TTIP (Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership) potrebbe fare alla gente europea; e ciò si basa su quel poco che sappiamo dalle 248 pagine dei negoziati ultra-clandestini fatte trapelare da Greenpeace Netherlands. "Negoziati" è il termine più sbagliato che possiate immaginare, dal momento che tutte le regole sono imposte da Washington, la stessa cosa che avviene per il TTP (Trans-Pacific Partnership, che riguarda gli USA e 11 paesi dell'area del Pacifico ma non Cina e Russia).
Sebbene i negoziati del TPP siano terminati, nessuno degli 11 partner del Pacifico, né il Congresso USA hanno approvato il trattato. C'è la speranza che anche se i "negoziati" tra i segreti traditori della CE e Washington arriveranno a conclusione, almeno qualcuno dei 28 paesi CE possa non approvarlo. Per essere valido il trattato dovrà essere approvato all'unanimità. Il nuovo candidato di destra alla presidenza austriaca,Norbert Hofer, ha già affermato che non firmerà il TTIP. Affermazioni simili sono state fatte dal Ministro per il Commercio Estero francese, Matthias Fekl, che ha detto che "non ci sarà un accordo senza la Francia e tantomeno contro la Francia".

Sotto al TTIP i cittadini europei perderebbero su tutti i fronti. Gli europei diventerebbero letteralmente sudditi di un impero delle corporations guidato dagli Stati Uniti d'America. I paesi UE cesserebbero di essere stati sovrani, ancor più di quanto non sia già sotto gli attuali ordini di Bruxelles. Come rivelano i documenti segreti TTIP l'accordo sarebbe la campana a morto per l'Europa. Ecco ciò che ha da dire a rigardo Susan George, filosofo, analista politico e presidentessa del Comitato di Pianificazione del Transnational Institute di Amsterdam:

— Il cibo che importiamo sarebbe chimicamente trattato, geneticamente modificato e senza indicazioni. Non saprete mai cosa c'è in ciò che mangiate. Potreste comprare pollo che è stato trattato col cloro, manzo cresciuto con gli ormoni, cibo biosintetico ottenuto dal gene di una pianta o di un altro animale, e ciò non sarebbe indicato.
 In campo agricolo è probabile che fallirebbero una grande quantità di produttori, perchè abbassando le tariffe il mais e il grano OGM americani che sono soggetti di enormi sussidi statali inonderanno la Spagna, l'Italia e altri paesi europei, rovinando tantissimi agricoltori, esattamente come i "campesinos" del Messico vennero rovinati dal North American Free Trade Agreement, il NAFTA.

— Nel campo sanitario le case farmaceutiche vogliono sbarazzarsi dei farmaci generici. Sono già riusciti a costringere le aziende che li producono a ripetere sulla stessa identica medicina "di marca" tutti i test clinici che avevano già eseguito. Per produrre un farmaco generico bisogna iniziare da capo: test clinici, test alla cieca e così via. Così la medicina diventerà molto più costosa.
Ma in particolare:

— Il TTIP serve per dare alle aziende la possibilità di perseguire legalmente i governi se non gradiscono una legge che questi approvano. Ne abbiamo ormai tantissimi esempi, perchè in centinaia di trattati bilaterali esiste questo sistema giudiziario privato, e, ad esempio, quando il governo egiziano ha alzato il salario minimo, una importante azienda francese, la Veolia, lo ha denunciato perchè avrebbe dovuto pagare di più i lavoratori. Questo caso non è ancora arrivato a giudizio, ma un caso che è stato già deciso è, ad esempio, quello dell'Ecuador che ha rifiutato a una compagnia petrolifera americana di trivellare in una particolare zona in quanto zona protetta. E la compagnia ha detto "ah si? e noi vi denunciamo". E hanno vinto. E l'Ecuador deve loro una multa di 1.8 miliardi di dollari, una somma enorme per un paese piccolo e piuttosto debole.

Questo semplicemente vuol dire che tribunali privati sarebbero al di sopra delle leggi e dei tribunali di stati sovrani. Non vi sarebbe più alcuna sovranità; nemmeno quel poco di indipendenza che Bruxelles ancora non ha distrutto. I paesi UE sarebbero tutti sotto le leggi dell'impero anglo-americano delle corporations.

E poi c'è il TiSA, il "Trade in Services Agreement", di cui ancora meno persone sono a conoscenza. Anche questo viene negoziato in segreto, riguarda 23 membri WTO (Australia, Canada, Cile, Taipei, Colombia, Costa Rica, i 28 paesi UE, Hong Kong Cina, Islanda, Israele, Giappone, Corea, Liechtenstein, Mauritius, Messico, Nuova Zelanda, Norvegia, Pakistan, Panama, Perù, Svizzera, Turchia e USA). In totale stiamo parlando di 50 paesi; 29 dei quali sottomessi a uno solo, gli Stati Uniti delle Guerre, del Crimine e del Dominio. Non serve troppa immaginazione per capire che, ancora, è Washington che decide. In realtà i negoziati TiSA, così come quelli TTIP, sono infiltrati da lobbysti e troll delle aziende USA, rendendo Washington il rappresentante dell'impero USA delle corporations e, naturalmente, di Wall Street.
Secondo la WTO, il TiSA aprirebbe il mercato del "commercio in servizi", cioè: aspettatevi la privatizzazione di tutti i servizi pubblici e sociali, la sanità, educazione, previdenza sociale, pensioni, trasporti, poste, telecomunicazioni, forniture idriche, fognature e altro ancora sarebbero tutte soggette alle acquisizioni da parte di aziende multinazionali. Guardate alla Grecia che sta cercando disperatamente di ripagare il suo maledetto debito vendendo il suo capitale sociale nazionale, o capitale di vita, a tutto svantaggio dei poveri, attualmente la maggioranza dei greci, che dipendono da esso. Una volta che un paese abbia firmato l'accordo non c'è ritorno, deve aprire i suoi settori sociali e pubblici ad aziende private in cerca di profitto.

Proprio come per il TTIP, se un governo in un secondo momento dovesse realizzare che la privatizzazione, per dire, delle forniture idriche, non ha portato alla gente i benefici promessi, non potrebbe tornare indietro e ri-nazionalizzare o ri-municipalizzare questo servizio. La ri-municipalizzazione dei servizi idrici sta avvenendo ora in Francia, tra tutti i paesi quello con le fornitura idriche maggiormente in mano ai privati. Nel 2012 il governo e i comuni di grandi città hanno deciso di riprendere in mano questo servizio pubblico vitale. Sta accadendo ora. Sotto le regole del TiSA non sarebbe possibile. Peggio ancora, una volta sottoscritto il TiSA, un paese non potrebbe decidere di esentare un particolare settore incluso nelle liste per le potenziali "liberalizzazioni", come ad esempio la sanità, l'educazione e altri servizi pubblici vitali. Tribunali di arbitrato delle aziende, simili a quelli del TTIP, verranno istituiti per il TiSA. Questi "negoziati" stanno avvenendo a Ginevra, sotto l'egida del WTO, in segreto e sottoposto a regole, bastoni e carote imposti da, indovinate un po', Washington.
Se la UE crollasse oggi sia i negoziati TTIP che TiSA arriverebbero a un punto morto. Uno qualunque dei 28 paesi europei, o ancora meglio uno dei 19 dell'eurozona, può far crollare la UE. Una Grexit, una Brexit, un fiasco dalla prossima ripetizione delle elezioni spagnole, o una ferma decisione da parte di un qualche governo di fare default sul suo debito imposto in gran parte dalla troika, potrebbe far crollare il castello di carte dello schema a piramide del dollaro, e cancellare una volta per tutte l'egemonia schiavizzatrice del dollaro-euro. Il debito potrebbe venire rinegoziato in nuove monete nazionali. Ricordate, l'euro ha a malapena 15 anni. Perciò tornare a valute nazionali non sarebbe drammatico, ma un sospiro di sollievo, sollievo dalla trappola del debito e sollievo dal tallone di ferro dell'oppressione di Washington e Bruxelles.

Immaginate cosa vorrebbe dire per il popolo greco. Sebbene ci siano voci che più di metà dei greci siano ostinatamente attaccati all'euro distruttore scommetterei che il suo crollo porterebbe centinaia di migliaia di persona a festeggiare per strada. Syriza potrebbe scordarsi gli ulteriori 3 miliardi di tagli di austerità recentemente negoziati, e ancor più i tagli alle pensioni e gli aumenti di tasse per i poveri.

State certi che un sollievo dal debito greco non verrà dall'attuale costellazione UE/CE-troika. Al contrario, il Ministro delle Finanze tedesco, Wolfgang Schaeuble, usa toni sempre più duri verso la Grecia, come a minacciare di spingerla fuori dalla UE. Una minaccia vuota, come ognuno dovrebbe ormai sapere. Washington, padrone anche della Germania, non permetterà una Grexit, o una Brexit o l'uscita di un qualunque membro UE. Washington ha bisogno di una UE "intatta" perchè faccia da partner schiavo nel TTIP e nel TiSA.
Ciò che è successo e continua a succedere in Grecia può serviere come un esempio da seguire per altri paesi "deboli" tra le nazioni meridionali della UE, a meno che, sì a meno che la Grecia o un altro paese sotto la pressione e il soffocamento economico e finaziario della CE-troika non prenda il toro per le corna, assumendo una decisione drastica: uscire dalla UE e dall'eurozona, far ripartire l'economia locale con una moneta locale, e rinegoziare il debito illegale e fraudolento alle proprie condizioni. Questo può portare alla fine della nefasta eurozona e dell'Unione Europea creata dagli USA.

Sappiate che la UE come è oggi non è un'invenzione degli europei; è una struttura pensata dagli USA immediatamente dopo la seconda guerra mondiale in modo da mantenere l'Europa sotto il proprio controllo e creare una zona cuscinetto di fronte al comunismo, all'Unione Sovietica. Così ha funzionato sino a oggi. Questa idea prevale ancora oggi, come si vede dal modo in cui la Russia e il suo leader sono demonizzati e attaccati dai media occidentali. Cerchiamo di essere franchi, se non fosse per la chiarezza e lungimiranza strategiche del presidente Putin, noi, l'Europa, saremmo per la terza volta in 100 anni nel mezzo di una guerra mondiale. E se lasciamo che l'andazzo imposto da Washington continui, l'Europa diventerà terra di schiavitù anglo-americana. Guardate al TTIP e al TiSA.
Un'autentica federazione di stati europei sovrani, magari anche con una moneta comune e una vera banca centrale potrebbe essere una soluzione a lungo termine per l'Europa. Ma, e questo è il MA più importante, una tale Europa dovrà essere progettata da veri e onesti europei (sto sognando?), assolutamente senza nessuna influenza degli Stati Uniti d'America. Nessuna.

Ciascuno dei 28 paesi UE può riportare la felicità ai popoli europei; spazzare via la paura, il dolore, la frustrazione, l'ansia; può restaurare la sovranità nazionale, riportare in auge l'orgoglio nazionale e l'economia locale, non globale, semplicemente uscendo dalla UE, lasciando l'euro, mettendo il governo del proprio popolo nelle mani di un governo sovrano e democratico.

La semplice uscita di un paese, Grecia, Portogallo, Spagna, Irlanda, UK, Francia…fate voi, può arrestare la feroce macchina del debito aprendo l'opportunità di unirsi a un nuovo, più giusto e più equo schema monetario, il nascente spazio economico orientale di Cina, Russia, BRICS, SCO (Shanghai Cooperation Organization) e della EEU (Unione Economica Euroasiatica).
Sicuramente il tempo è importante. Non per niente Obama sta spingendo per una veloce conclusione e per la firma del disgraziato TTIP. La sottoscrizione di questi accordi predatori, TTIP, TiSA, TPP, è un punto chiave dell'agenda della presidenza Obama; la sua eredità militare e corporativa, di cui l'espansione della NATO ne è parte, dipende da ciò. Una volta che questi trattati saranno firmati non ci sarà ritorno. Se contro ogni logica il TTIP sarà ratificato, anche se poi la UE dovesse dividersi, ogni singolo paese sarebbe soggetto ai termini dell'accordo. Perciò è essenziale il crollo della UE prima della ratifica del TTIP.

Questa soluzione radicale potrebbe essere troppo persino per i più convinti oppositori della UE e dell'euro. Molti di loro ancora cercano, sperano e sognano una UE riformata. Vivono ancora sotto l'illusione che le cose si possono sistemare. Credetemi: non è possibile. La machiavellica creazione USA chiamata Unione Europea, e l'altrettanto americana moneta comune, l'eurozona, hanno fatto il loro tempo. Sta andando a sbattere contro il suo iceberg. La nave della UE-euro è troppo pesante per evitare il disastro. Per l'Europa è meglio prendere tempo per riorganizzarsi; ogni nazione con lo scopo di riottenere sovranità economica e politica, e magari tra un paio di generazioni progettare una nuova Europa unita di stati federali sovrani, indipendenti, totalmente scollegati dai diabolici giochi dell'impero anglo-amerreCano.

PS:Sono stati riversati fiumi di parole mai un chiarimento da parte degli Americani che spieghi quali benefici veri possano essere per gli Europei e principalmente per la salute di tali.
Solo il fatto che è un trattato segreto non divulgabile,visionabile per il popolo europeo solo dopo che sia stato firmato dai MASSONI EUROPEI che siedono a Bruxelles questo fa meditare la gente.

Cosi 'tels que les textiles en provenance du Pakistan et pour le poisson (surtout le thon) des Philippines. Parce que pour nos entreprises et «impossible de rivaliser avec ceux qui utilisent le travail des enfants, peut« polluer et poissons librement sans respect des normes internationales.
Lethal, en particulier pour les producteurs dell'ortofrutta en Italie du Sud, et «également l'accord de libre-échange avec le Maroc qui coupe les tarifs d'importation. Un Caporetto également le chapitre du Made in Italy, dont Bruxelles continue d'empêcher la protection, la définition d'un «obstacle au commerce» de la demande pour nos parlementaires d'imposer des règles claires d'origine des produits. Règles, cependant, sont adoptées aux États-Unis, Canada, Japon, et même en Inde et en Chine. Et si «la contrefaçon seulement en Italie tue 110 000 emplois, avec une perte avant impôts de € 1,7 milliards.
Mais pour Coldiretti, les données pour la nourriture sont encore plus «dramatique:« causer de la nourriture de la falsification nous fait perdre € 60000000000, avec un coût social effrayant de 300 000 emplois. Avec la faiblesse de l'Europe qui devient une entreprise pour la facture aujourd'hui de agromafie € 12,5 milliards par an. Le coupable? En 2012, 64 pour cent des produits contrefaits entrant dans l'UE proviennent de la Chine.
Et les données de l'anarchie »sont à la hausse, étant donné l'incapacité» (ou pas vouloir ') de la Commission européenne d'introduire des règles protégeant la production authentique et le thème des «indications géographiques» et «ignorés. Et la même chose semble se produire avec le TTIP, le partenariat transatlantique pour le commerce et l'investissement: un accord commercial de libre-échange entre l'UE et les Etats-Unis qui pénalisent une fois de plus nos producteurs, la réduction des tarifs et la suppression dans de nombreux domaines les barrières non tarifaires qui limiteraient les importations.
Pour défendre que la sécurité de l'environnement ou à la santé, à moins que nos agriculteurs et entrepreneurs.
Puis il ya toutes ces règles communautaires qui encouragent les entreprises à changer le pays conditions courir plus «favorable. Avec les abus et la concurrence déloyale par le détachement des travailleurs et la libre circulation des professionnels. De plus en plus «délocalisation fréquente des fausses entreprises qui mauvaise licencier du personnel à embaucher des travailleurs étrangers pas cher, couverts par des protections contractuelles très mineurs et dont les charges sont facilement contourné contribution.
Avec la moquerie que, souvent, les entreprises italiennes sont corrects alors aussi obligés de compenser les pertes des caisses contributions générées par des violations des autres. Et l'UE a neutralisé par la fraude de contrôle Inspection du travail. Maintenant, il ya 'la directive également 1307/2013 nouvelle politique agricole commune (PAC) avec laquelle les agriculteurs italiens pour «niveler les quantités avec d'autres pays", laissez le champ (et «le cas de le dire) pour la 7 pour cent des contributions ".
Ayant dit tout cela - la preuve de tout refus - question se pose naturellement: que faisons-nous dans l'UE? Pour nous voler et le massacre par les oligarchies de Bruxelles qui nous méprisent?
Il suffit de sortir et a claqué la porte.

Financial education: only weapon of survival

"An ignorant people do not reason, obeys." To this basic ignorance, induced, it also adds the weapon of "mass distraction" in a war that winds and of which we are more and more victims.
"An ignorant people do not reason, obeys." Word of Francesco De Sanctis. It was 1860 and Italy was at the dawn of its controversial existence. Today, 150 years later, the policy has yet easy game, out of a population that besides being deliberately kept in ignorance (with cuts to the school and without any competitive offer from teaching methods arrears in both the teaching staff in the very structures) is also stressed the most pressing problems and currently present.
The fusion of the disciplines

Humanists are the last aristocratic culture and the sublime pleasure that allows you to appreciate a hexameter Homer is undoubtedly invaluable, but we all live in a world that is governed by the finance and finance ignores the Greek meter as well as the beauty of 'oratory of Cicero or the construct Tacitus. But paradoxically, as the only gift is just the classical culture to warn us that Mother Logic can come to our rescue and makes us understand how the first weapon to sharpen both knowledge of the language spoken by the "enemy". Yes, the enemy, because civil society, today, without even knowing it, is in fact in the middle of a war. Fought well with other weapons, most notably that of "mass distraction" that welcomes provide myriad input useless tidbits seasoned easy sensationalism, or a subculture also imposed on banks of the school, in a dilapidated structure (budget cuts ) in turn run by professors equally resigned to a career often precarious, without stimuli or the other opposite, lying lazily in the certainties of a permanent contract. For those who have.
War, it was said. Parallelism too simple if you think that our economy, with its numbers can easily be compared to that of the Second World War on the consumer side: every day in many in Europe are forced to make ends meet making choices increasingly selective, dictated by a crisis that continues to persist, so much so that 80% of women to return to the value of the self-made, English-speaking term that could easily be translated with the classic homemade ".
Return to the wisdom of DIY

Food especially, also benefit health in some cases, but also clothes, thanks to the knowledge capacity maybe learn from a grandmother (luckily Italy has a population particularly long-lived and wisdom is always a bastion safe during storms, of all kinds), but also the discovery of the Internet as a place to exchange tips, create purchasing groups, have the possibility of barter, recycle or exploit ideas for recycling. A war with the work, to find it, to keep it, to be able to understand why there is not, but above all to understand why we are asking sacrifices people, politicians, who often do not have to sacrifice ever made. And is bitterly mocking the scene starring this "sacrifice" the unemployed in their early twenties who have no salary, much less no subsidies, just fired their fifties, too young to retire, too old for a new hire, but with a lot of family dependents and mortgage to close. A people who, as said earlier, often bears too. The reasons? So many, so many will not even be found more in one quadrant.

Ignorance financial
Everything could be one of the financial ignorance: according to a recent OECD study that involved 18 nations, Italy was second last for the knowledge of the subject. No wonder, then, that today no one be offended if he reads the news of an exposure to derivatives by Deutsche Bank amounting to 75 trillion dollars virtually the same amount of global GDP and 5 times that of Europe, or that in the US the major 5 the banks are for 40 trillion. Maybe because we ourselves are not even accustomed to thinking in trillions, or because, quite rightly, concerned about many other emergencies daily, with a slalom between taxes and tax deadlines that by the next day will bring into the coffers of the state 44 billion. How many of these will then be returned as services to citizens? And how, instead used to plug the hole from potential exposure to derivatives in June saw those on the public debt of the Italian Republic with a deficit of 34.4 billion euro? In the real possibility of not being able to honor our, deadlines, we find hardly desire to understand those of the Italian state. As well as to go and look up the meaning and dynamics that govern a derivative. Financial education and economic latita is a serious handicap.

The hidden benefits in daily life
Have it would be useful not only to understand what is really happening to the nation, what often unknown even to the politicians in office, but also for the understanding of reality and especially to be able to offer an alternative to the system. Easy to complain, propose plans reasoned, however, is very different. Financial education that would also be useful to be aware of our possibilities: extricate the financial jargon to understand the voices of your bank statement and find out the hidden costs imposed (and silenced) by banks, understand that the TAN (pure interest rate applied to a financing) or the APR (the indicator of interest rate financing operation) at the bottom of a loan within the customary range, improve the ability of criticism at the time of purchase, because every time you put your wallet at the supermarket, or you change even the rate of the telephone bill, it means that it has concluded a contract, or an exchange of goods / offer / rate, which has been taken note of and which are accepted as the intrinsic characteristics also the price. And perhaps avoiding some little surprise at the end of the month ...
"The quality of education given to the lower classes must be the poor and mediocre as possible so that the distance of ignorance that plans among the lower classes and upper classes is and remains impossible to fill the lower classes." This recently wrote Noam Chomsky, without being wrong.
