Email from Nicholas Atkinson
I am opposed to the new Constitutional Treaty
(Reform Treaty).
1) The so called red lines are not set in
the main part of the treaty. The ECJ will steadily erode these.
2) There will be an increased compliance
cost that will adversely affect the competitiveness of the UK
economy.
3) The ratchet clause will enable further
erosion of those areas of national remaining subject to UK legislation.
4) The commission will now be able to force
the EURO without UK parliamentary intervention.
5) All immigration will be subject to EU
rather than British Parliamentary control.
6) Border control will be under Brussels.
7) Loss of over 80 areas now subject to Veto
are lost.
8) Banking and Capital movements under Brussels.
9) Erosion of national competance under so
many areas will make Westminster redundant.
10) Loss of competance will result in public
apathy to elections.
11) Feelings of powerlessness risks far right
and far left exploiting public anger and possibility of BNP gaining
power.
These are just some.
