...successful invasion of Britain, however, would also further Mattei's tireless fight to revenge himself on the big oil companies for freezing him out of the international consortium set up seven years ago to refine and market Iranian oil. British oil companies currently sell about 25% of the gasoline used in Italy; Mattei slyly implies that he would be satisfied with the same percentage of the British market, 83% of which has been held up to now by British Esso and Shell...

Spanish Philosopher Salvador de Madariaga expressed it better than anyone else...
...servant. The members of the Common Market executive and their staff drive cars marked with special European license plates, send their children to the European high school, and, except for accents, have lost many of their national traits or concerns. Of all these new civil servants, still the most tireless at 72 is Jean Omer Marie Gabriel Monnet, the most dedicated international ist of them all-although at the same time he remains as thoroughly French as Cognac, the town of his birth...
