Postępy na drodze ku Powszechnej Szczęśliwości tylko z bieżącego miesiąca:

country to opt out of the Social Chapter.

behind that of America.

light of the fact that 100,000 of the 170,000 pages of EU regulations and
directives have been produced in the past 10 years.

March 12: Publicans complain because the Commission wants the crown stamp
removed from British pint glasses.
