Pierre Schellekens: ‘EU is partnership of member states, not rule of the strongest' - by Guy Dammann
"The EU has moved on a broad range of areas: we have taken international leadership on climate change, strengthened our common foreign and security policy, further deepened economic integration and established the groundwork for a common energy policy. Undoubtedly, some of these are indirectly linked to the fight against international terrorism. But they primarily spring from the knowledge that closer EU co-operation would benefit Europe politically and economically."
''The 9/11 attacks, didn't mark a watershed in EU history''The EU is a partnership of member states, not the rule of the strongest. Time and time again, the history of European integration teaches us that when a member state or an institution has a constructive idea, is able to build alliances around it and has a clear strategy, it can set the agenda and take far-reaching initiatives.
