This is truly a black armband day as in 1957 six European nations signed the Treaty of Rome thus establishing the Common Market. They were Belgium, France, West Germany, Italy, Holland and Luxembourg.
If only they had stuck to trade and a common market instead of building a bureaucratic empire we might all be wealthier.
