Will the Berlin Declaration take the EU to 2009?

The editorialist François Ernenwein considers that the EU's "deficiencies will not be compensated for by the Berlin declaration, a sort of minimal contractual programme, by 2009. The incremental, step by step policy with which Europe has been built over fifty years and which previously guaranteed its success has today run out of steam. The European project is in danger of a slow death unless it switches to a far more explicit will power and an ambition that goes beyond building an enlarged zone dedicated to the free market. We need new energy. This can be found in the hopes of Europeans that are relentlessly being formulated."
