Chechen WarChechen WarThe European Union, unlike the United States is not a federation. Unlike the United Nations it is not a global co-operation of member state in decision making. The European Union is unique. In short the Union its self is one that is made up of many sovereign states. These sovereign states, though retaining the majority, pool the sovereignty together in order to increase there strength and world influent. Pooling sovereignty means that the state turns over decision making power to a joint co-founded body on issues of joint interest to be decided democratically. The foundation of the Union goes back to a time of great instability, perhaps even before the Napoleonic war, but for our purpose we will begin there. From Napoleon and the latter Franco Prussian wars, to World War I and II Europe continuously lay in a state of disorder. It is this very disorder and instability that brought about the building blocks for the original European Community.
The first step towards a common European Union was the adoption of a number of anti-European, anti-Russian measures, such as the annexation of Crimea and the adoption of a Charter of the European Union to which Austria is a member. In short Russia’s annexation of Crimea was a prelude to the building of the Union, its subsequent annexation of the Baltic States and of parts of Russia’s territories. Finally, by 1923, Austria entered the new Union in order to get at the European values of individual rights, equality and freedom, and its eventual recognition by the Council of Europe of the concept of Europe as a single European continent. The following year, when it was established, the European concept of national self-determination was not changed in any of these ways. But that only changed it in 1917. This was the beginning of a period of great international instability in the Union and a period of huge international movements of opposition. The last period of international conflict brought the rise of the so-called European states. They are the founders of the European states for the international community, but they are also the seeds of a Union without a common national principle and one which no member states can control. As the name implies, that is the first step towards a Union without a common national principle. For Austria, the first step towards common identity is to renounce and reject all ideas and traditions of separatism which have been rejected in favour of nationalism, democracy and socialism, and which serve to weaken national unity by excluding their citizens from the democratic process. Austria, as it is called on behalf of its people, does not wish to lose its nationality and it does not wish to be a European state. Rather it sees the common national interests of all its citizens as at the heart of its identity and as it should not be confused with those of an individual state. Austria is not a country in which freedom of speech, including political activity, political protest and the right to freedom on the grounds of religious or political belief and practice are all denied by the authorities of the country. But its aim is to allow freedom of expression which is of great international significance. If national identity is not to be confused with the interests of all, it should also be allowed to enjoy self-determination, and the goal thus becomes the creation of a Europe. In the wake of the Second World War, there was a resurgence of separatism in the whole of Europe which took the form of the Eastern bloc and of the Baltic states. In this direction the political and economic powers in Germany, Italy and Poland and in Russia, particularly Warsaw, created the Council of Ministers in order to give the right to choose their country’s leaders in a referendum. The European Council of Ministers was abolished in 1922, but the right of the European Union to have the right to form an electoral body based around a single national identity was established. The EU has a membership programme which is very liberal in the application of law, which is extremely liberal in some respects, but it does not have a common language, which it did not have through the treaties with most of Europe. The European Union cannot be used to justify anything that is not democratic. It is necessary that all member States that are seeking to be granted a Common European Policy should adopt one of these. In return for membership there were to be certain reforms. These would be to introduce a new form of currency, to increase the exchange rate and to provide for the withdrawal of monetary and other measures that would take effect at the end of the new membership. The European Commission could also start by drafting national laws. The national legislation could be based on all or part of the European Common Market. In short, the main issue which would be debated was whether to allow the European Association of Regional Corporations to become a member of the EU. The Member States would decide which laws they would adopt and the powers of their national Council would then be taken by a two-
