Having been present at a number of the Eurocontrol workshops, I must agree that there was a fair amount of federalism kicking around. However, it was disappointing to note that the overwhelming number of member states appeared to be quite happy to roll over and have their tummy's tickled.
Furthermore, at the last workshop, it became rather apparant that the EC 'observers' were not completely impressed with many of the Eurocontrol proposals.
I think the phrase is "Contact, wait. Out."
