Raison d’ etat: Power and riches to the aristocrats, subsistence for the masses.
Subsidiarity yesterday, today, and forever! It is not having been in the dark house that matters but having come out.
William P Walsh wrote, “Subsidiarity yesterday, today, and forever!”
I have, perforce, had to read a great many EU regulations and directives and I have never encountered one without the following recital:
“In accordance with the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty, the objectives of this Regulation cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore be better achieved by the Community. This Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary to achieve those objectives. [Conformément aux principes de subsidiarité et de proportionnalité énoncés à l’article 5 du traité, les objectifs du présent règlement ne peuvent pas être réalisés de manière suffisante par les États membres et peuvent donc être mieux réalisés au niveau communautaire. Le présent règlement n’excède pas ce qui est nécessaire pour atteindre ces objectifs.]”
“In accordance with the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty, the objectives of this Regulation cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore be better achieved by the Community. This Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary to achieve those objectives.” DOUBLE TALK…and can therefore be better achieved by the Communists.
Lip service gains no credibility by repetition.
