thanks for the link.

If you wouldn't just swallow what this site says, but do a little investigation you could find out what this is all about:

http://www.efsa.europa.eu/sites/default ... s/1982.pdf
(btw more about EU myths:
http://blogs.ec.europa.eu/ECintheUK/dai ... -eu-rules/ )
So, it's not a rule but a 'piece of advice which member states are free to interpret as they wish'.
I won't go any deeper here, just read the Guardian article and/or the Efsa paper if you're into.
I'm not a lawyer and won't discuss boring legal texts here, but I think this is a typical example for EU leavers/haters opinion-forming:
don't believe serious journalists, instead believe in yellow press and internet sites which suites your taste.
like on that same 'thinkabout' site:
http://thinkaboutnow.com/2016/06/colleg ... g-tickets/
(student who developed an online 'robot lawyer' to prevent parking offenders to pay for their offence)
ok, who wants to pay a parking ticket? nobody! this site must be good! I'm in!
'College freshman Joshua Browder has created an online robot lawyer that has overturned 160,000 traffic tickets in London and New York' .
If you think about it twice, you may *probably* come to the conclusion that it's BS if everyone may park his/her shitty car everywhere he/she wants, esp. in cities like NYC or London.
what makes me angry and worried about all this EU -or generally authority- skepticism is that it seems that people who don't live here
and probably never had been or will be here are thinking they are smart enough to know what the EU should (not) do.
E.g: you know nothin about what a single currency means, not only economically, but for peoples's common identity on this continent.
Maybe at scool you heard something about two major wars that occurred in the last century in Europe:
the first one started in 1914 by the two emperors of Austria and Germany (WW I), the last one by a chap named Adolf Hitler, started in 1939 (WW II).
Civilian losses WW I: 17m, WW II: 60m.
That's a big chunk I'd like to say. Maybe it would be better to prevent such conflicts?
In addition, as nowadays weaponry is even more devastating, WW III casualties may go into billions.
So how could we avoid such a scenario?
Do you think it's better when every state (I'm talking about Europe) is strictly doing his own thingy, maybe collaborates a bit
with some others but basically is anxious keeping foreigners and foreign economy outside, like the majority of Britain now has chosen?
Maybe this is ok for the Uk, as it always has been something special, if only because out of geological reasons. If they want it: now they have it. Have fun.
Nigel Farage about the £350m 'EU money' he devoted to the NHS:

But I think it would be devastating for Europe as a whole if more EU countries would leave.
We should, no, we must cooperate tightly if we want to live in peace and develop on this continent.
It's not an easy task, nobody said that. There had been numerous debacles:
Civil wars in former yugoslavia (1991-2001), or the Greece finance scandal, to name just two.
Slovenia is EU member since 2004, Croatia since 2013. No more wars anymore.
For Greece, a lot of tough work lies ahead. And, yes, the EU taxpayers had to pay the bill, together with the Greeks in the first place of course, for having such a corrupt gouvernment.
Politicians argued whether to back Greece and keep it in the EU, or let it go into bankruptcy.
But besides economical reasons I just want to point out a little sidenote why Greece belongs to Europe and viceversa, and that is:
Greek culture was the birthplace of Western civilization.
Without those guys (and the Romans who learned from them) we would be a bunch of barbarians battering their skulls.
So I think we a have a f*cking duty to back this country, giving something back.

This temple stands on a remote mountainside in the Peloponnese, quite untouched, since 450-400 BC. On the right it's a view from the temple into the surrounding area.

But it's only a tiny part of the Greek ancient heritage. Which all has to be conserved. Which costs money. Which comes from the EU.
Ok, to the op's statements:
The britisch are not stupid anymore.

how this demograph can be interpreted?
The majority of Brits who have only visited High School (until 15-16 y.) voted for Brexit.
So the less educated the more intelligent people are, right?
Germany gets destroyed by open doors no passport controlles against organized crime. And welcome to all refugees islamists etc.
Does that mean: all refugees = islamists, and what is 'etc.' ? Satanists? Rapers, bastards, jews, socialists, gays. Commies? Greens? AliBaba&the40thieves. The Wall Street, incl. the Pres Barack Obama himself.
I'm baffled.
But what I can see is that there's a big heap of people who want to drive our society into the ground, deliberately.
Choosing the nationalistic, unsocial, fascist way.
It's all been there, and it's not so long ago.
