PERHAPS THE MOST OUTSPOKEN EUROSCEPTIC senior politician in the European Union, Czech President Vaclav Klaus has long characterised the EU as an elitist, ‘rent-seeking’ bureaucracy which should be scaled back at the earliest possible opportunity to an intergovernmental, free-market, free-trade zone. He believes that the ultimate cause of the international financial crisis has been too much regulation, not too little. He regards the climate change agenda as a hoax and, needless to add, thinks the Lisbon Treaty is at best pointless.
The Czech EU presidency will be the best thing to ever happen to the organization.
