The E.U. Quotes

“Who was this new Brussels civil servant? He was, as a Wall Street Journal reporter snidely remarked, 'a bureaucrat without a country [who] for the past twenty years has written rules that nobody had to follow. He has pronounced upon matters that no one particularly wanted him to pronounce upon. He has invented jargon nobody understood. He has been well-paid, well fed, and universally mistrusted by the people who employed him. He was, and is, a Eurocrat.”
― John R. Gillingham, The E.U.: An Obituary
