The European Commission

They even say so themselves: the European Commission is a bureaucratic nightmare.

He says: “It is not just that the Commission fails to explain what the EU is for ... Its modus operandi displays an outrageous lack of common sense ... It became intolerable to work within what had come to seem like a bureaucratic nightmare that makes Whitehall look a model of simple efficiency.”

Finally some honesty, from someone who really seems to have Europe's best interest at heart, unlike the likes of Chirac, who works with it only when it bolsters what he perceives as the narrow French national interest.
