The Europeans took way to long in creating the EU. It has been need for a long time. I might argue since the beginning of the enlightenment. Europe is such a tight-knit diversity of people that it needs a support to keep everything together. I would also argue that had a Union been developed much sooner that the World Wars might not have ever come to be. I think it was i

7. BSE: Situation in Third Countries- Questions and Answers

With CJD and HMD, it is easy to understand the paranoia circulating today in Europe. Greece has set stricter import bans. They already refuse the import of any irradiated food or product. They believe the irradiation is to blame for the recent outbreaks. The recent bans have been to keep the infected animals and animal byproducts out of the country. Western Europe is already "slaughtering" their livestock industry. They are killing as many as they can in the attempt to get rid of the disease. From what I can find no one in Greece has reported the disease, however with such a long gestation period it will be hard to see who is next to be infected. In a recent article online at the WHO site, scientists predict the Eastern Europe is next. This includes Poland, the Czech Republic, and Austria. Greece is just south of all of these.

Food safety is a current issue anywhere you go in the world. The fact that everyone must eat makes it vital that guidelines be set for the safe consumption, growth, and distribution of animal products. Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease and Hoof and Mouth Disease are running rampant through Europe today. The wide variety of their strains and impossibility of locating their origin make it near impossible to control the spread of the two. The European Union has begun taking action through creating the European Food Authority and setting guidelines in the White paper on food safety. Greece backs this proposal but states clearly that they want a Union whose structures are organized in such a way as to remove the danger of discrimination, which is bound to arise, inevitably, from disparities in the rates of development of member countries.

nevitable for a "solid" body be created for the nations of Europe. Not only does the EU offer the possibility for further structure but it would also boost the economy and offer more "security" to everyday life in Europe. I believe the EU to be more necessary than the United Nations. History shows us that 95% of the conflicts began in Europe. I believe the EU should be a mediator. When I mention "backbone" I do not mean to infer that the sovereignty of the already established nations be extinguished. I do believe that there needs to be someone to "break up the fights though" and act as "MOM" for Euro!
