EU Integration a 5GW Swarming Project?

From the article at The Economist:

There is nothing new in claims that the EU is seizing power by stealth. What is novel is that they come from ardent supporters of EU integration. An early case was Valéry Giscard d’Estaing, a former French president who chaired the convention that drafted the constitution. Earlier this summer, as EU leaders gathered to salvage bits of his wrecked text, >b?Mr Giscard d’Estaing publicly declared that the plan was to “camouflage” the big changes that his constitution had tried to set out openly. “Public opinion”, he said, “will be led to accept, without realising it, provisions that nobody dared to present directly.”

After the summit had agreed to an outline of the new treaty, Giuliano Amato, Italy’s interior minister, who was a vice-chairman of the constitutional convention, hailed the way it had been given an “unreadable” new form, full of cross-references and footnotes. This, Mr Amato told a meeting in London, was done to help governments that were struggling to avoid “dangerous” referendums on the new treaty (in Britain, the Blair government had promised a referendum on the constitution). Now, said Mr Amato, a British prime minister could say: “Look, you see, it’s absolutely unreadable, it’s the typical Brussels treaty, nothing new, no need for a referendum.”

Unreadible camoflauge certainly sounds like denying the target the capacity to observe that he is a target.

If shrinking the gap might be a 5GW swarm-project for America, might not expanding the core be one for Europe?
