Are we all clear that we want to build something that can aspire to be a world power - not just a trading bloc, but a political entity?

Foreign policy can mean several things, not only foreign policy in the narrow sense. It can cover foreign policy, relations with the developing world, and enlargement as well.

We have to give ourselves a constitution which marks the birth of Europe as a political entity.

Moreover, resolving the mother of all problems - the Israeli-Palestinian question - requires cooperation between Europe and the U.S.

I am sure the euro will oblige us to introduce a new set of economic policy instruments. It is politically impossible to propose that now. But some day there will be a crisis and new instruments will be created.

Our continents unification is at hand and we must stand to account.

Democracies must have equilibrium... and the entanglement of politics and information must be minimized.
