Recently Portugal also entered the Mixed camp (France has already stated it regards the Accord as Mixed) which means that every sovereign Parliament will have to approve setting it back 15 years). Yesterday the EU Parliament passed its approval by 552 votes to 24 against, enabling the Accord to move forward through the EU Chambers.

BUT, all this will be pending the referendum that was promised in Andorra and is still likely to go ahead. There was a report that the NO camp had lost ground and that the YES and NOs are neck and neck, but there again polling in Andorra has not historically been a science.

The relentless cogwheels of the Brussels administration steamrolls on !!

Donald Trump has offered to buy Andorra to save it becoming part of the EU. Project "VallTrump" would see Trump running the pistes while Andorra hands over the old iron mine in Llorts.  Recently an article appeared in the local rag that the "NO" camp and the "YES" camp for the referendum were now neck and neck, hence the urgent intervention of Donald to take over Andorra and back out of the referendum,  now known as the "Donald Duck"

Andorra again was placed second behind the UAE as being the safest and most crime free country out of a study of 150 countries. France came a miserable 114th with the title of the most unsafe country in Europe, Spain limped in at 50th in the world. I have touched on this before but with the EU Accord imposing freedom of movement, those voting should be very careful, I would be delighted to hear from anyone at all if you think Andorra will have any benefit from this area?
