some great ones in there

The 1994 prize went to Yasser Arafat, Shimon Peres, and Yitzhak Rabin "for their efforts to create peace in the Middle East". Arafat's critics have referred to him as an "unrepentant terrorist with a long legacy of promoting violence

Fully agree Arafat was a terrorist and so was Mandela and I also never understood why Obama got the Nobel peace prize, however the one for the EU was deserved

Christ. They came into the discussion when you said “the EU negotiates the trade deals”.

Anyone can negotiate a trade deal. I negotiated a trade deal last week when I traded sterling for an iPhone battery off Amazon. The EU negotiates bilateral agreements and FTAs.

You mean you did some on line shopping. The money markets must tremble and quake with fear every time you do some on line shopping on Amazon.

FTFY. Fairly obvious statement really. If you get together with a group of mates and you all agree to do something, naturally you all "fall in line" and do it.

You keep trying to make out that the EU is this huge monolith that sits on top of the countries that constitute it, rather than being an organisation comprising its member countries. It's really quite amusing.

Did you ever watch the documentary series Inside Europe: 10 years in Turmoil? A quite telling documentary as to who exactly wields the power in the EU.

Good points all. You forgot one though. Nobel himself who only instituted the prizes because he didn't want to be remembered as the man who invented new ways of killing and destruction (dynamite).

All those EU countries are not making trade deals in their own right. The EU countries collectively makes the trade deal and every EU country falls into line.

I don't think I ever mention Hitler on here, but if I did it was to say that the EU helped us to protect from Hitler wannabees to rise after ww2. The EU did get the Nobel peace prize remember.
It's the Brexiteer tomato faces that keep up bringing Germany and Hitler in every discussion about the EU

course you didn't he was part of the crusades not the war that finished 74 years ago. Damn how do you tie your shoelaces???



The person who prevented a world war since 1945 was Robert Oppenheimer, the EU has ignored genocide and poked the Russian bear you complete moron. There are plenty of unpleasant dictators out there but none of them want their capital cities turned into glass. Even Vlad the invader was careful when he annexed Ukraine.

Nobel Prize controversies - Wikipedia

The 2012 prize went to the European Union for "over six decades contributed to the advancement of peace and reconciliation, democracy and human rights in Europe". Among other objections, some former laureates disputed the award, claiming that the EU is "clearly not a champion of peace"

The 2009 prize went to Barack Obama "for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples". The award, given just nine months into Obama's first term as president, received criticism that it was undeserved, premature and politically motivated.

Sorry but I was under the misapprehension that we were discussing trade deals. When did bilateral agreements and FTAs come into the discussion before you changed the topic.

Typical remainer mentality lose the argument so switch the topic

Trade deals are not the same as bilateral agreements or FTAs.

HTH.

All those EU countries are not making trade deals in their own right. The EU makes the trade deal and every EU country falls into line. This is just one of the differences between being IN and OUT of the EU.

The GDP of Australia is slightly bigger than the Netherlands. The commonwealth has two sizeable nations, India and Canada and the rest are minnows.

[Yorkie62]

According to Brexiters, the UK can't make trade deals with other countries so how comes all these EU countries are making trade deals?
