"EU Ministers Meet to Ponder Bloc's Future- by WILLIAM J. KOLE, Associated Press Writer
Saturday, May 27, 2006 (05-27) 01:43 PDT VIENNA, Austria (AP) -- European Union foreign ministers cloistered themselves inside a 12th century abbey Saturday to consider the bloc's future, almost exactly a year after French voters threw the continent into turmoil by rejecting what would have been the first Europe-wide constitution.
The envoys were gathering informally at the Roman Catholic monastery in Klosterneuburg on the outskirts of Vienna for a two-day 'future of Europe' meeting. Their challenge: bridging a perceived disconnect between the EU's elite and its 455 million citizens."
