Our position is to oppose the unification of Europe as proposed under
|
|
the Maastricht Treaty, as being beneficial to Europe. We will prove beyond
|
|
a reasonable doubt the uselessness of the treaty. The main principal of
|
|
the Maastricht Treaty is European Unity. Unity is a nice warm hearted word
|
|
which infers working towards a goal in harmony. The Maastricht Treaty
|
|
sounds like an ideal proposal on paper, but in reality it can't work.
|
|
|
|
In order to adopt the treaty several countries will have to make
|
|
sacrifices. No body likes to make sacrifices. Countries with advancing
|
|
economies like Germany will have to slow down to accommodate country's with
|
|
poorer economic systems. Nations like England will have to merge their
|
|
high currency rate with country's such as Italy, whom are infamous for
|
|
their treasured currency the Lira. No one likes to get the short end of a
|
|
stick - Why should these countries give up some of their prosperity to help
|
|
others? Sure it will be quite an honourable effort but greed is an
|
|
undisputable human characteristic (and we are talking about the merger of
|
|
former economic rivals now in full cooperation!) Ultimately, these
|
|
countries concerned with their own interests in mind will disregard the
|
|
treaty. For example, during the last several weeks in defiance of the
|
|
treaty Britain lowered it interest rates while Germany raised theirs.
|
|
Both to accommodate their own separate economies! This sort of unity does
|
|
not seem to me to set an example from which to abide by in the future.
|
|
|
|
Under the Maastricht Treaty one body will govern and regulate both
|
|
economic and political concerns. I find it hard to comprehend how one
|
|
governing body can do the work of twelve individual governments in a
|
|
continent whose culture and society are so diverse. If the nations now are
|
|
incapable of settling their internal problems how can shifting the immense
|
|
burden to a smaller less experienced group do anything but further
|
|
complicate the situation. Sure it may be easier to decide upon a coarse of
|
|
action - but controversial issues may only intensify or multiply if not
|
|
carefully and appropriately addressed. The proof of such a failure between
|
|
various ethnic groups and a detached government is the current intensifying
|
|
conflict between different ethnic group in Yugoslavia, right next door to
|
|
Greece.
|
|
|
|
The Maastricht treaty also provides for the joint creation of a
|
|
unified military defence force for Europe. Although, this sounds like a
|
|
good proposal the immediate risk of any one country invading Europe is very
|
|
remote. The threat of a Soviet takeover of Europe is now nonexistent (the
|
|
huge Soviet Army has now been divided among the twelve independent
|
|
countries whom still dispute over who own what). There are still NATO
|
|
bases scattered all around Europe housing thousands of U.S troops so the
|
|
need for a joint European military force is unpractical. The military
|
|
aspect of the unification treaty is merely a an outdated cold war era
|
|
stipulation, which may have been advantageous a decade ago but is now
|
|
obsolete.
|
|
|
|
Addressing, the gov's point
|
|
|
|
Full approval from all nations on passing the treaty is not expected
|
|
for some time. Denmark has already voted NO on the treaty and wants the
|
|
treaty delayed until their objections have been met( sometime in 1993) In
|
|
the same way, Britain will not endorse the treaty until it has been
|
|
reworked and is satisfactory to the Danes. In contrast, France and Germany
|
|
don't want the to negotiate the treaty only to clarify it with additional
|
|
wording.
|
|
|
|
Foreign Minister who can't agree now on the treaty will have similar
|
|
success if the treaty passes.
|
|
|
|
I conclude that
|
|
|
|
The Maastricht treaty will not unite European countries but further
|
|
divide them.
