The following months should be particularly interesting. As you know, as of May 1 the European Union enlarged itself into a 25 nation monster. But the problem is, according to reports, no decision has been made as to who will be in charge Read about it here.

I find this hard to believe. It's not like the founding EU member states have all suddenly gone fishing. In fact, the enlargement process began in their mind some time ago. 

Looking forward to today's enlargement, the EU Commission presented its Agenda 2000. The idea was, by the end of 2000, the EU was to be ready for the new member states May 2004.

The interesting thing about Agenda 2000 to me is, my book, Recommendation 666, records the events and actions taken by the EU in 2000 to prepare for today's enlargement.

The final act of these EU heads in December 2000 was the signing of the Nice Treaty. This agreement assured the 10 Western European Union nations the majority vote, even after the 10 new members arrived in 2004.

In June we're told the EU heads will decide how the EU will vote at 25. In other words, this coming June we'll see if those 10 core nations find a way to maintain control.

And in the mean time, we're told 25 nations have piled into the EU for a ride, and nobody knows who will be at the wheel in June.

Does this sound like something you'd let your daughter do?

Stay tuned!
