1. Is the EU really necessary?
YES....if you were around as an American (stationed in Germany) in the 1970s/1980s...you likely grumbled each time you went over the border, bought Francs or such, etc.
Germans complained in the same way....knowing they could buy a washer/dryer in Spain for 70-percent the cost of one made in Germany.
So if you listed all the BS....20-odd items....they all get fixed in the era of 2000-2005. Then from that point on....the EU kept looking for things to fix...finding disgruntled folks who said 'enough'.
2. If you asked a hundred Germans who represents them in the EU.....other than Van de Layen or Weber (CSU)....99-percent have no idea.
3. What's the pay-level for a MEP?
After taxes/insurance.....in the range of 8,500 Euro a month.
I should note there is a substance allowance, for each day of operations going on....350 Euro...for hotel/food coverage.
