Pensée

We are a very special construction unique in the history of mankind … Sometimes I like to compare the EU as a creation to the organisation of empire. We have the dimension of empire .. What we have is the first non-imperial empire .. We have 27 countries that fully decided to work together and to pool their sovereignty. I believe it is a great construction and we should be proud of it.

--José Manuel Barroso, president of the European Commission (2007)

Good trading! And for American readers, have a great 4th of July.
