What have they got to hide?

I am really getting very VERY angry about the way the EU Constitution is being implemented via the back door. Here's are some of the latest ways that the EU and our Government are trying to hide the truth from us. It appears that the "treaty text was tabled in Brussels on Monday in one language, French", but that's OK translations into other languages must be following shortly? Well no, "Normal EU rules stipulating that documents must at least be in German, French and English have been suspended."

"The Government, and EU officials organising negotiations, cannot produce an official English translation of the 145 pages of draft articles, 69 of protocols and 63 pages of declarations until next month, well after the Commons has finished for the summer. MPs will return to duty 10 days before Gordon Brown signs a final treaty agreement in Lisbon on October 18-19. Rejecting referendum calls, the Prime Minister will then press for parliamentary ratification on a treaty that will have been negotiated over the summer without proper scrutiny by MPs." Gordon Brown's democracy deficit makes an unwelcome appearance.

Then the real kickers, "Officials close to the organisation of negotiations have admitted that documents in all the EU's 23 languages are not expected until December, when a formal ratification text will be signed by Europe's leaders. "We believe it is a problem but we have a mandate that is tight. There is urgency. Doing all this within six months is unprecedented and there are going to be real limitations to the process," said an official." Democracy, pah, this is too important for that.
