quote: And why hasn't Norway ever bothered to join? No real loss I suppose

Hmm, let me see, how do Norwegians make a living nowdays? They are the only nation in the world that is still hunting whales and seals and they are also pumping oil out of the North Sea like crazy. I guess that EU regulations would bring an abrupt end to this, so here a big motive not to join.

Switzerland and Norway will join the EU by default soon enough, official membership is unimportant.

There are plenty of seals and mink whales. There are actually way to many seals, they eat all the cods.
There are no reasons not to hunt them, except that som people think they are cute and/or intelligent. Blame Hollywood.

Norway is kind of a banana republic I guess, oil monarchy would be a better description.
I don't think EU regulations would stop oil production though, Britain pumps out oil too you know

Yet Britain, Holland and Germany who have oil rigs in the North Sea are forced to abide by strict regulations, which you don't.

Norwegians respect nothing, they're not even in OPEC...

As for the seals, even if there's plenty of them to go around, they are brutally massacred to provide a luxury. Nothing justifies that.

Anyway, Norway is #1 in the world in quality of life. They do not need the EU to give them money...

They are not hunted just for the fur. They've got excellent meat and blubber. And as I said they threaten fishing because there are so many of the little monsters.

I put moldavia because they are such loosers they their export women fooking loosers, that is too low even for the LU. we have some strict criteria who can join and this is a big no-no

It they dont stop that they will get kicked out


.. which brings me to Norway. they are loosers because they have no sun, so they kill baby-whales and drill for oil to entertain themselves.


if any EU members want to deflect to us, weeeell, I m not so sure you fit the criteria, call us back in ten years we ll see what we can do

EU is not all bad, and we are not all that lousy. people here look to EU to solve all our problems, and EU looks down on us as some third world middle-of nowhere

I d expect more vigour from west europe to help east europe, we had 50 years of social experiments while you enjoyed capitalism and democracy

You could have stayed into the Yugoslav Union...
...losers.

(Not that it's not Serbia's fault too, but they have proven themselves to be correct in insisting that Yugoslavia should remain intact. Of course the terms under which this should be is an other discussion.)

I think the Irish are the only ones who have a constitutional requirement to hold a referendum on each major EU treaty they sign.

But I work for an Irish firm. For a negotiable fee I can attempt to persuade my colleagues of the virtues of EU enlargement...
