Having digested the various essays of German papers' and editors' comments this morning, I see the real troubles of this "deal" yet to come in the next months. The problems with reaching agreements on a variety of details, has been delayed only. While on the surface it looks like a German-French win, I think in fact Germany's Merkel has just willed in to allow more foul compromises, covered with enough chocolade so that the peoplea t home will buy it for the moment.

It is all the foul compromises that I have predicted.

And Britain? Well, bye-bye. It is set to become a second-class player in the EU, and will not get asked about much anymore. That Cameron's only company in his path towards more isolationism is especially Hungary, also is not a compliment. Considering that Britain always posed with claiming to think European but in fact weakening, dividing and blocking Europe at every opportunity since Thatcher'S days at the latest, I cannot imagine that it will seriously be missed. Of course they will all say how sorry they are. What they really think inside their heads, is something different.

The real costs of this "deal" for Germany will emerge not before the details have gotten hammered out for the final treaty. And I fear them already now - there are plenty of poison-traps ahead for the German tax payer.

The legality of this treaty inside a treaty, already gets questioned by law experts. And as usual, public demand and opinions got explicitly violated. The congress dances - the gates stay closed, the windows remain covered. Business as usual in the EU. Hail our new old 23 kings.

And then, Croatia signs, whose economy and administration is heavily complained about for notorious corruption. And this summit should be taken as a signal that the EU has learned something? Imperial overstretch. Everybody working for the EU and every European politician should be commanded to learn the meaning of this term inside out and being able to list the historic examples by memory even when being deep asleep in the middle of the night.

But megalomania seems to be more entertaining.
