EU Bureaucracy Spawns Endless Problems

Paul Taylor, Reuters
Americans call it a Rube Goldberg machine, Britons a Heath Robinson contraption and the Danes a Storm P machine.The European Union's policy-making system often resembles one of those cartoon designs of an implausibly convoluted system for achieving a simple task - held together by sticking plaster, string, frequent tinkering and plenty of wishful thinking.What is striking when you compare Europe's policies on agriculture, monetary union and climate change is the similarity of the way the EU keeps bolting on patches and extra wiring to try to fix problems created by its own solutions.
