The EU is 'essentially the work of the Devil'

The European Union is “essentially the work of the Devil,” says The Australian’s Foreign Editor Greg Sheridan.

"Its operating procedure is this: it ties itself up in ludicrous regulatory knots and imposes grotesque cost disadvantages on itself," Mr Sheridan told Sky News host Peta Credlin.

"It then tries to export those cost disadvantages through the treaty system".

"Now of course, the nations of Asia simply don't pay any attention to this rubbish at all and the European Union won't impose these on a nation like China because it'll get a developing country exemption.

"Meanwhile Australia, despite our record population growth, has actually reduced our emissions by substantially more per capita than the OECD average.

"But we don't have this European rhetoric."

It comes as the European Union is pushing ahead with its Carbon Border Adjustment Measure which would see exporters like Australia face a levy depending on the carbon emissions used to make and ship products.
