Revived Roman Empire Sarkozy seeks to give EU greater world roleAs France prepares to assume the EU's driving seat in July next year, president Nicolas Sarkozy has indicated he wants to turn the 27-nation bloc into a decisive player in the global arena – something he says would result in a fairer and more harmonious world order. "Europe must progressively affirm itself as a first-rank player for peace and security, in co-operation with the United Nations, the Atlantic Alliance and the African Union", Mr Sarkozy said in the first foreign policy speech of his presidency on Monday. According to the French leader, it is time for Europe to form a common perception of the main global challenges and of ways in which to tackle them. He himself identified relations between Islam and the West as the main issue that currently needs to be examined. "The European Union alone has accumulated, during the long process of building the community, the practical experience of a shared sovereignty that corresp onds well to the demands of our times", Mr Sarkozy told his audience of 180 diplomats, stressing the EU bloc has at its disposal a broad palette of instruments, ranging from military force to humanitarian and financial means. While outlining new ideas, Mr Sarkozy urged the 27-nation club to boost its common security strategy – namely to improve its conduct of joint military operations, to rationalize its arms procurement as well as boost countries' contributions to Europe's defence budget. "The construction of Europe will remain the absolute priority of our foreign policy", France's Nicolas Sarkozy concluded, underlining that "France is not strong without Europe, just as Europe is not strong without France". During his speech, president Sarkozy also reached out to new powers in Asia and Latin America, suggesting they should be granted seats at the UN Security Council table. "France demands new permanent members – Germany, Japan, India, Brazil – and fair representation for Africa", Nicolas Sarkozy said, while also pushing for the G8 grouping of industrialised powers to expand to the G13. This would include China, India, Brazil, Mexico and South Africa.

In the EU, UN, or G8, Wakka?The whole reason the old world keeps pushing for the EU to grow is because it's the only real chance that they have to rival the US. If they put all their resources together they have roughly equivalent economic power. All of this, of course, is the building of the one world system.
I don't see how it could turn into a one world system of government if they still have their soverinty. Which they do.
They're handing it over piece by piece in case you haven't noticed. Some of the English are up in arms over this "referendum" they're supposed to have. The government there has already said it hold votes until the measures are passed.http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/4208423.stm
The constitution is designed to streamline decision-making in the enlarged EU of 25 states. For example, it lowers the size of the majority needed for most decisions in the European Council, and cuts the number of areas where a unanimous vote is required.
Opponents argue the constitution will hand control of important issues such as foreign affairs, public services and the economy to politicians not elected by British voters.

Yeah, but the reality is that Europe is becoming Eurabia very fast. According to demographic studies, in less than 50 years, quite a number of European countries will be more than 50% Muslim, countries like Austria, Czekoslavakia, Russia, etc. Even at 30%, the other countries won't be able to ignore them. Think Germany, France, UK, etc. European govts today are bending in order to specially accommodate Muslim constituents. Oh, and just wait till Turkey gets admitted into the EU.
