Letter: This European Disunion
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: As a citizen of Finland, I have been following the European Union's institutional discussion with great interest and fear. It looks as if the UK government is effectively blocking the entry of my country into the EU. The baby will be thrown away with the bath water - as we Finns also say.
This will be the case if the Major government continues to reject continuation of the present decision-making principles in the council of the EU.
This policy is very difficult to understand, after all the lip-service John Major and his cabinet have given to enlargement - especially since the whole issue of institutional reform will be discussed in 1996.
Sincerely yours,
