Sir
Despite the celebrations after a successful launch, we should remember that the Galileo programme is a hugely ambitious attempt by the EU to rival the US as a fully-fledged space power with its own ring of satellites.
It has already cost UK taxpayers £400 million. Yet the EU has no legal right to set up its [...]

Sir
While agreeing with the Nirj Deva about the disastrous performance of Mr Blair and the British presidency of the EU (letters 29 December) I take exception to his signing his letter as “MEP for Hampshire”, and sending it from his London address.
Chris Huhne – now MP for Eastleigh – used to play the same game.
Like [...]

We have the list of the EU’s 3000 secret committees. It is in French, and offers no information about the membership of each.
After more than a year of probing, at last the president of the Commission has today (12 December 2005) released details of the 3000+ secret committees that run the EU.
Mr Barroso’s excuse for [...]

During the voting session on 13 December 2005, MEPs approved the appointment of eight new members of the Court of Auditors. They was only one candidate put forward by each country with a place to fill, so there was no real choice. The parliament also voted for the appointment of the (unopposed) heads of the [...]

A report by the British socialist Robert Evans MEP on the provision of facilities for people with mobility difficulties received an overwhelming vote of support in the European Parliament on 15 December 2005, with eight members voting against. I was one of them.
Immediately afterwards, Mr Evans deplored those eight votes and said he intended to [...]

Deep divisions over the present state and future direction of the European Union emerged in an acrimonious debate in the European Parliament today (14 December), at the end of the British government’s six-month presidency of the European Council.
Speaker after speaker criticised the British government’s lack of leadership and the EU’s current loss of any sense [...]

Sir
Not all MEPs applauded Mr Barroso as he urged the British government to “stop thinking like accountants” (your report 15 Dec). Those of us from the real world were appalled. We go much further and urge not only the British government but the EU itself to start thinking much more like accountants and remember that [...]

(sent in my personal capacity, after the execution of Stanley Williams in San Quentin jail, California)
Sir
Arnold Schwarzenegger is quoted as having said “Stanley Williams insists he is innocent, and that he will not and should not apologise or otherwise atone for the murders of the four victims in this case. Without apology and atonement for [...]

The Times, 13 December 2005
Sir
Tim Hames claims that accusations of treachery against Edward Heath were not made during his lifetime. Not true. They appear in my book Vigilance – A Defence of British Liberty, published in 2001. They were not challenged.
Also, the West Country store Trago Mills accused Edward Heath of being a traitor [...]

Almost 50 cases of potentially fraudulent use of EU funds are currently under investigation in Romania, Bulgaria and parts of the Balkans – despite none of these countries being members of the EU. Several million euros-worth of taxpayers money is involved.
This startling fact came to light at a meeting of the budget control committee of [...]
