Think of it: No more divisions between Europeans because of them, so, frankly, I wish they had gone sooner - or never joined at all (Luns, who did his best for the Brits when they were in a tight spot and when the Dutch were their only friends on the Continent during the 1960s, early 70s, should have listened to De Gaulle's 1963 "Non !" and left the matter for what it was)
