GCC needs an ordered transition into an union | GulfNews.com:

"The recent controversy over transforming the GCC into a fully-fledged union has gained an exaggerated momentum, especially after the issue turned into a war of words and insults over social networking sites done by those who do not wish well for the Gulf states. Their intention is to exploit the issue to fuel differences that occur between members of any bloc.
The shift, if it takes place, will be a routine transformation process that will not change much the nature of the co-operation or affect the sovereignty of any country. It is evidenced by the experience of the European Union (EU) where all member states have the right to veto and cannot pass any decisions without collective consent, which ensures sovereignty.
In addition, the agendas of the European and Gulf blocs are in the main economy and security dominated, even though co-operation in the political space has increased in the EU and with the consent of all."
