Europe in a celebratory mood?

Tonis Erilaid, on the other hand, makes a crushing appraisal of the EU's performance. "Today, the Europe which started off with a big bang 56 years ago, must honestly admit that it has become nothing more than a lucrative playground for homesick EU officials. Brussels couldn't care less about the welfare of EU citizens, and their unanimous response, when they are given permission to open their mouths, is that the officials can get lost! This was their reply in France and in the Netherlands, and that's what the Estonians would say, too... According to Eurobarometer surveys, only the mega-rich citizens of Luxembourg have a positive attitude toward the EU - 71 percent approve of the EU. And the simple reason for this is that the Union's liberal bank policy guarantees the residents of this mini-state a lifetime of prosperity."
