The recent but still ongoing "Grexit" crisis has revealed many latent differences in EU Treaties between the needs of the EUROZONE and the needs of countries not in the ZONE !
The Greek crisis has dominated political discussions in the EU for the last six months. Normal EU debates of other problems have taken a back seat.
The absense in the EUROZONE of normal management back-up teams to permit the early identification of problems has cost a lot of time ... and money ! This would be scandalous in the private Business World and "heads would roll" !
The major EU problem which has again emerged and for which no solution has been found concerns "IMMIGRATION" ! This is a growing problem and cannot be swept "under the carpet". It is time entry conditions are defined. This requires changes to EU Treaties and a clear definition of what countries in the EU, not just in the EUROZONE, would accept as immigrants who were born outside the EU. Also, should non EU-born immigrants be allowed to migrate freely into other EU countries from the country that originally accepted them officially ?
To permit the control of immigrants implies that every EU born Citizen must have an EU Identity card !
Another problem, which also provides a steady flow of would be immigrants, is the WAR Islamic extremists have launched in the Middle East and in Africa. Is it not time that the EU FIRMLY "closed its doors" at all points of entry into the EU ? Has the time not come when all EU countries should adopt a unified Defence Policy ?
The World has changed since EU treaties were designed and adopted. These Treaties need to be updated and modernised. If the EU will not act, individual countries should be allowed to act to protect themselves !
Finally, are all these problems not typical subjects which the President of the EU Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, should be proposing to be debated in the EU Parliament ? Or is he still completely preoccupied by the EUROZONE "Grexit" crisis ?
