The more cynical amongst us might see a connection between Bayer's recent acquisition of Monsanto and the German government's green light to the use of glyphosate.
In another example of how the EU plan to increase their powers comes this, about how the EU would like to stop member countries from vetoing EU tax rule proposals.
Another example of EU democracy in action; don't like it? Tough!

What's the term for the belief every country in the world is superior to your own.
Has anyone ever made that claim?
