Wowowow.. it's an EU agency... First they need to issue a communication that sets outs a vision for a roadmap to create a framework for an alliance that will create an agenda for the steering committee that will issue a request for a study of merits.

Then they can schedule to do something.

The kicker is that in any member state that'd be politics trying to bury something in procedure, while on the European level it's the only way to get anything done. Leave out a step and the thing just fizzles because noone even knows about it.

...not, I mean, quitting X. But in general.

The EU has been designed so that no one in any position can abuse his (or her) powers or at least make it extremely difficult to do so, with an added layer of mistrust between the states requiring even more checks and balances so it can lead to some ridiculously complicated processes since not much can be done without a majority consensus.

Deciding to leave twitter or not will lead to a barrage of comments from all the countries, so I'm not even surprised that even that decision has to be carefully managed.

I'm poking fun but for all it's flaws the EU has achieved a surprising amount of things.
