Re: Even a Green MEP feels Duped by the EU
That's what happens when countries turn their economies over to the EU.
No doubt the EU first held discussions with all the relevant parties concerned? Meetings have no doubt been held with business leaders in each of the 27 member states with regard to the effect the proposed minimum wage ordered by the EU will have on small businesses in each of the 27 other European member states?
No-one is saying that a minimum wage is not a good thing for workers. As long as the EU are not, as they are want to do, just shoehorning this directive through without first speaking to economists, small business leaders and other relevant parties in every member state first to assess the damage that could unwittingly be foisted on small businesses as a result of a decision taken carte blanche by the EU. I sincerely hope they awaited the replies and assessments from each of the member states before making such a decision. It doesn't affect the huge companies that the EU favours, but it could have a devastating effect on small businesses.
It would be interesting to find out.
