- Reuters – France’s Sarkozy urges freeze on EU enlargement – this is naturally being interpreted as another French anti-Turkey thing. But he’s certainly got a point that the EU’s various institutions need updating before expansion can take place.

We’re seeing the fall-out of relying on old systems after new accessions at the moment, and it’s causing a fair few problems – unless something is done this will only get worse with further expansion.
