I'd say it has been "negative" so far. I say "negative" and not negative.

And the reason I say this, is that our main drive for joining the EU should be, IMHO, resolving the political issue that wrecked the island. And for that we really got nothing yet. Blah blah the EU legislation says "A" but in your case it's "B" or "A' ". Pfft...

All I've seen is prices climbing. The benefits of the EU, at least the more important ones are yet to be seen.

The Eu ?

Guys look basically on a political front Britain and Irelend are both Eu members, and Ulster is still unresolved. Britain last week lost her last car manufacturer Rover and twenty thousand jobs. In fact British manufacturing no longer exists. Fishing and farming have been ruined. The cost of living is rediculous here. Someone somewhere is making a lot of money from Britain being in the Eu, but its not the average brithish man. We cant afford a decent police force, house prices are mad mad mad. The schools are rubbish, we cant park our cars, we cant afford to do anything.
So my Cypriot brothers welcome to the Eu, you aint felt nothin yet.
Turkey please take note.

Can anyone tell me what they expected to get from Eu membership?
Have you got it? Guys it just gets worse.

Cyprus has joined the Club, and what has happened?
Jack has happened, other than becoming European.......wow ..great.

The Eu say jump n Cyprus says "how high"?
They gave Cyprus the veto......................try and use it, and see what happens.

Why Turkey would even want to join this mad club is beyond me.
The reason Eu is talking to Turkey is so that Turkey can contribute to this mad economic wasteland.

Guys you've been duped. Turkey stay out, they'll bleed you dry.
The only way the Eu members might benefit, and I repeat the word might, is if in hundreds of years they merge as one nation.

So if saving ten minutes at the airport, is worth trebel the cost cost of living, or for some reaon you might want to work in Britain, or France or Estonia, (God knows why you might might to) then great, but otherwise, it was a big mistake..............
