€9.75bn EU staff pension and our liabilities.
Lacks of a standard minimum wage across members sates to stop folk having to leave their countries and homes
Lacks of wealth share to the poorer nations ,the Euro value between some is stark .
It's almost federal state like approach .
Lack of real democratic elections of commissioners or presidents its like some old boys club , they are not elected by voters ( ie real people ) their nomination come member state ?? in consultation with the Commission President ?? , then subject to hearings on their suitability ?? so their actual competency and responsibility is never exposed to the public is it , its like the bad bankers and CEO appointments , that old Labour hates .
