I think something the EU said this week is very telling in the future of that community. There are currently 27 countries in the EU and they stated that the last thing they wanted was to see was that number rise significantly through countries breaking apart as we are seeing in Spain. The EU is already a logistical and bureaucratic nightmare at times and if the number of countries rose to the 42 they quoted then it would become more and more difficult to attain agreement between all those nations.
