| THE FUTURE OF EUROPE |
The European Union has never been a fixed entity. It has flourished
in the post-war era through a dual process of adaptation and
innovation in relation to the international environment. At
the turn of the 21st century, the EU needs to face new challenges,
most importantly globalisation and its own enlargement. This
task was recognised by the EU Summit in Laeken, where the
EU Heads of State or Government adopted a declaration on the
future of the European Union:the Laeken Declaration. The Declaration
recognised that the European Union “stands at a crossroads,
a defining moment in its existence”. And that in this
historical juncture, the EU “faces twin challenges,
one within and the other beyond its borders”. To move
forward the debate on these issues, the EU summit decided
to establish a Convention to lead the debate on the future
of the Union. The failure of the adoption of European Constitution
in December 2003 does not call into question the work carried
out by the Convention. Links |
