German chancellor calls for greater European cohesion - "Succeeding Together"

Berlin - Chancellor Angela Merkel on Sunday urged Europe to show greater unity as Germany prepares to take over the rotating presidency of the European Union. 'Europe can only succeed together,' Merkel said in her traditional New Year's message to Germany.

'Only a united Europe can meet the challenges posed by globalization, ... violence, terrorism and war. A divided Europe is condemned to failure.'

Germany has chosen 'Succeeding together' as the mottor for its six-month presidency of the EU, taking over from Finland Monday, when the bloc grows to 27 nations with the entry of Romania and Bulgaria.
