Euromyths Debunked

This section catalogues a whole string of claims made about Europe which are untrue.

They range from the plausible to the ludicrous and many are amusing.

They are being used by the anti-Europeans to turn the British people against the European Union.

These rebuttals will give you the knowledge to make your mind up based on the facts, or even fight back!

More euromyths are explained on the European Commission website. If you have other examples of euromyths to publish on this site, or questions about them, please email myths@andrewduffmep.org.uk
