Sun investigators witnessed a convoy of 15 trucks roll in as the entire European Parliament decamped to historic Strasbourg for just FOUR DAYS....And the whole crazy three-centre system — which experts say costs an extra £55MILLION a year — exists just to appease the French.

The wonders of the EU will never cease.
Given that the EU gets so much criticism for its "gravy train" image and unnecessary expenses, why is it that they never manage to do anything about it? Why aren't they clamping down on expenses? Why aren't they streamlining the bureaucratic process? Why aren't they sorting out the accounts?
I just don't get it. Their lives would be much easier, and far less people would support the eurosceptic movement, if they actually fixed the issues that many people worry about. I conclude that it is a case of institutional incompetence; they are simply unable to resolve problems, even though they know they exist. The only alternative is that the EU is institutionally corrupt, with everyone involved deliberately maintaining the situation so that they all make large amounts of money. I am not sure which is worse.
