What on earth have we let ourself into.
They are completely different institutions! With different people running them! The council of Europe was formed in 1949 just after WW2 of which the UK was a founder member. :eusa_wall This convention of human rights was signed in 1950. ALONG time before the EU came about. The flag is irrelevant as they both symbolise europe. Just because the BNP use the flag in their logo doesn't mean that it's somehow related to the queen or the government.Quote:

I have just shown how they were all set up by eachother, its like you telling me that the foreign office and the ministry of justice have no link what so ever, both are under one government but have different names. The EU is split into different sections, all under the Union and will continue to become part of the Union.Quote:

im sorry but i dont like your connection at the end, Adolf wanted to eradicate the jews and anyone who apposed him, the nazi's used the swastika, i dont think that the european union are like that...
They aren't linked. It's just plain ignorance to say they are.Quote:

These three are linked under one banner. the CoE is completley different.Quote:

Pathetic.Quote:

The world isn't black and white babe, clearly the EU does not eradicate the jewish people, however where Nazi Germany and the EU are on the same lines is where they both wanted a federal Europe, get it?Quote:

just because the state flag of hawaii includes the union jack doesn't mean it's part of the commonwealth.
The starting basis for the European Union was from the ECSC. This along with the European Communities merged into different 'pillars' of the EU and are now these pillars will cease to exist after the Lisbon Treaty comes into force in December.
The Council of Europe have nothing to do with them apart from SOME joint projects, mainly to do with members of tcoe joining the eu.
The EU are expected to follow Council of Europe laws on human rights and the like but they are really very different things with different goals. tcoe is more to do with human rights and the eu is more to do with economic policy.
Those who sit in the EU parliament have no say in what happens at the Council of Europe and likewise.
The foreign office has different staff, different building, different logo, different aims compared to the Home office, does not make it a totally different and unlinked thing - they are both part of a government. They (the EU and CoE) both aim to create a federal superstate, don't pretend you do not know and from what I gather you actually want a European superstate but are unwilling to say it aloud. The European Parliament has no power anyway, its merely a sham of a parliament (just like westminister now) because the laws/directives/rulings all come from the top of the European superstate, whether its from the Union part, the courts or any other part of the EU.Quote:

Council of Europe is completely different. The EU only expands to states who have signed up and been accepted. The Council of Europe extends to all EU states plus other states including Russia. The European Parliament does have real power and it will recieve more with the LT. It has the power to sack the comission. The laws are 'dreamed up' by the comisison (elected by member states parliaments) and then are passed on to the EU Parliament. The Parliament HAVE to approve the comissioners in the first place.Quote:

On the federal europe issue, you support the march towards a federal europe yet don't support the people of Europe having a referendum on it?
