EU Embassies
Once again the Telegraph is first with the news, ground breaking investigative journalism by Bruno Waterfield in Brussels gives us the headline this morning that; “EU plans international embassies”
Mr Waterdfield tells us;
The European Union will open its own embassies under a plan critics fear represents a “power grab” by Brussels officials pushing for a federal superstate.
The secret plan represents the first time that full EU embassies have been discussed seriously.
The “Embassies of the Union” would be controlled by a new EU diplomatic service created by the Lisbon Treaty.
The Daily Telegraph has seen a high-level Brussels document discussing plans for a “European External Action Service” (EEAS) which was proposed under the new EU Treaty, currently being ratified in Westminster.
Talks have so far remained behind closed doors. Officials fear political fallout over plans to implement the new Treaty before it has been fully ratified.
