"EU to Ask, What Is Europe?

Tuesday, March 28, 2006

A leading German conservative, supposedly a political has-been, claims to have the answer, and he claims to speak for most Europeans.

Identifying Europe on a map might not be too difficult for anyone with a high school—let’s make that a college—education. But try to identify where Europe ends, what its borders are, and you need an international summit.

Looming over a two-day summit of European Union leaders last week in Salzburg, Austria, was the question of how big the EU can be allowed to get and who can join.

With the questions still looming, foreign ministers have scheduled an informal summit for May to assess “where Europe’s future borders lie,” according to the Netherlands’ Ben Bot (Associated Press, March 24). Bot told reporters, “One of the many questions Europeans ask is, ‘Are there no borders to the EU that should be fixed?’”
