Unfortunately we cannot get easily rid off this redundant state-power and mindset layer that is causing super-bureaucracy. The Angelas, Montis and Hollandes will not abolish themselves. However if this should become a longlasting union they had to prepare the ground by strengthening the EU-parliament on the upper side and provinces on the lower side.
