"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest for freedom, go home and leave us in peace. We seek not your council nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Beruacracy at work. The EU Commission lead by Romano Prodi is afraid that demands by European leaders could threated the power and influence of the Commission.
In a document written to fellow commissioners and seen by the Financial Times, Mr Prodi complains that moves by European Union leaders to extend the time-frame in which their key decisions are taken risk cutting across the Commission's right to introduce legislation.
He is afrai that power in the Eu may be moving toward the Council of Ministers. This is a Council made up of European government ministers, and Prodi feels that such important things as ruling the people of Europe should not consider the input of those people.
