Mr Juncker suggested that this timetable was "too optimistic", pulling out of his bag "two piles of paper" - Croatia's EU entry deal and Canada's free trade deal - to highlight how complex talks are likely to become.
Of course, what these 'piles of paper' really demonstrates is the utter failure of bureaucrats like Juncker. That is these 'piles of paper' are clear demonstrations as to how, if you put bureaucrats in charge of anything, their incentives are entirely satisfied by the own self serving self interest to string the job out and create lots of pointless rules and regulations.
I estimate that you could probably draft an entirely suitable 'free trade agreement' (an oxymoron in itself) on about 8 pages of A4, double spaced 12pt Arial.
