Secret EU Documents Reveal Plan to Install Unaccountable Interior Ministry

A quote from Bruno Waterfield's blog, 11 February 2008
Plans to create a powerful new European Union "Interior Ministry" under the
new Lisbon Treaty will be agreed in secret by Brussels officials over the
next four or five months without any public or parliamentary scrutiny.
The new Reform Treaty resurrects proposals from the old EU Constitution,
rejected by French and Dutch voters two years ago, for a "Standing Committee
on Internal Security", already known as COSI in euro-jargon.
The final blueprint for COSI's extensive powers will be agreed during the
second half of this year […] The Treaty text, Article 61D on page 77 […]
baldly states that: "A standing committee shall be set up within the Council
in order to ensure that operational cooperation on internal security is
promoted and strengthened within the Union."
Secret internal EU documents, circulated almost three years ago, admitted
that "the exact nature of the committee cannot be discerned by reading" the
relevant clause of the Treaty - and no new work to clarify the issue has
been carried out since.
