European Nations Throw Up On EU Plan To Seize Border Sovereignty, Impose Standing Border Force
zerohedge.com / by Tyler Durden on 12/15/2015 15:13
Last week we reported that in a move which the FT dubbed would “arguably represent the biggest transfer of sovereignty since the creation of the single currency” Brussels was about to propose the creation of a standing European border force that could take control of the bloc’s external frontiers — even if a government objected.
Not unexpectedly, the plan went far beyond a Franco-German request to give Frontex more powers and staff. The request was made a few weeks after the Paris attacks, when frustration surfaced over Greece’s inability to better manage the flow of migrants as it emerged that at least two of the Paris attackers were registered as Syrian refugees on a Greek island. Why? Because Europe saw a real crisis opportunity and decided to jump on it.
As a result of this dramatic takeover of the most sacrosanct aspect of state sovereignty, a few unelected EU bureaucrats would effectively have veto rights over decisions how individuals states would police their borders: “Although member states would be consulted, they would not have the power to veto a deployment unilaterally.”
Furthermore, the new agency would be able to deport people who do not have the right to remain in Europe, essentially voiding the protections that come with nationality at least among EU member states, as well as several that are currently outside of it.
