ABSTRACT
This chapter emphasizes that the aspects of the European Community (EC) have been kept outside the critique: internal EC relations, the relations to the US and to the other countries of Western Europe. It discusses the concrete demands which, according to the type of thinking developed here, should be directed to the EC. The European Parliament is of minor significance, except, perhaps, on paper, and is likely to remain so for some time. The economic, political, cultural, etc. transactions carried out all over the world with Western Europe as a center are in no need of any formal decision-making at the very center to back them up: they simply exist and persist. A European parliament empowered to make politics, not only to pass comments or sometimes judgments on policies made by the other bodies, will not by itself lead to any changes.
