Makes you wonder about the whole EU concept, many small countries are in deep debts, struggling, and cannot do anything without approvals from Brussels.
It is like a prison for many of them, Greece is a perfect example. They have been lured to borrow enormous amounts of money, trapped in A large bureaucratic system aka EU.
Or look at Bulgaria they are not allowed to proceed with South Stream pipeline even though it is for their own benefit. They need a permission from Brussels.
All of them have lost sovereignty and independence, EU destroyed their economies. Very few are benefiting from EU, Germany the most.
