How EU and BBC work

Last week, Germany and the Netherlands put a veto to further talks with Turkey on EU memberships, scheduled on June 26. They didn't say for how long or if indefinitely.

But according to BBC,

"Germany's Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle played down tensions with Turkey on Tuesday, saying he had had a "really good, constructive" discussion with his Turkish counterpart Ahmet Davutoglu on Monday evening."

So the talks are on again but postponed to October.

In their wish to maintain things positive and making our days birghter, BBC managed to turn this completely upside down saying

So according to them, it's not Germany changed its mind, it's now Germany delaying.

But according to reality, it was blocking last week, now it changed its mind, opened again, but since they had to be somewhat consistent, or the arguments where not hard enough, postponed it 'till October.


I know Germany is one of the most important economies in the world, one of the only three countries with a net surplus, due mostly to honesty, realism and hard working. But lately, (although this issue has been decided through veto and Germany could legitimately reconsider as it did), since anybody else didn't have to say anything as most of the Europeans don't care, or don't know or don't recognize the importance of this issue, or have other things to worry about, or they trust Germany on all issues or have already been lobbied hard on different issues, anyone can see, everything about EU tends to be decided by Germany's top politicians. And if Turkey decided to enter EU, they know in which direction to push.
