A very telling quote from the Telegraph article:
Quote:
One director grade official in the European civil service revealed that EU departments have been pressured to increase their budget forecasts in order to "bump up" Brussels expenditure.
"There are people in the Commission who are like the Taliban, they are fundamentalists who believe as an article of faith that the EU's expenditure must increase every year even during a crisis," he said.

These fundamentalist Eurocrats are hell-bent on increasing the overall proportion of tax revenues that are controlled at the EU level rather than by member states. Their aim is to gradually bring about a
de facto United States of Europe with the Commission acting as a federal government.
