Europe in a celebratory mood?

"One of the main subjects of the period of reflection that the EU imposed on itself concerns the limits of Europe," explains the Spaniard José María Beneyto, a professor at the Institute of European Studies (IDEE). "The question of the limits of Europe cannot, and must not, be resolved in an apriori manner. We must not establish an impossible list of countries that should be considered as full-fledged candidates for EU membership status. It would be preferable to determine, on a case-by-case basis, and after an alalysis of their compliance with strict political and economic criteria, whether a country that has through its history played a role in Europe's destiny, might succeed as a part of Europe. The debate on the limits of Europe should stimulate a public discussion on both the Union's objectives and on the need to get a better sense of what determines European identity."
