"EU at 50 admired more from afar than from within
The European Union is an object of admiration and emulation in much of the world, yet it marks its 50th birthday this month little loved at home.
In the half-century since six nations signed the Treaty of Rome establishing the European Economic Community, the bloc's members, now numbering 27, have enjoyed near total peace, rising prosperity and spreading stability unmatched in their history.
