The EU's new treaty

The EU is finally to have a new treaty. The heads of state and government of the 27 EU member states reached an agreement to this effect on June 23 in Brussels. After painstaking negotiations and a series of concessions on the part of Poland and Great Britain, the path is now free for most of the proposals contained in the failed EU constitution to be implemented by 2009.

Le Temps - Szwajcaria

"The EU is vulnerable to the same dangers as its 27 member countries. It evolves according to those who manage it, to the economic and social constraints sustained by its 500 million inhabitants, and above all to the sacrifices that everyone is prepared to make", explains Richard Werly. "The Brussels summit, and its tense conclusion dominated by the Polish demands, reflects a new deal from this perspective. The current European leadership, for example Nicolas Sarkozy or Angela Merkel - each in their own style - is first and foremost pragmatic. ... They are convinced that the famous 'subsidiarity', which allows European law to apply at the national level, must be accompanied, for the time being, with a symmetrical division of symbolic roles. ... The Europe of 27 will stand on its own feet if it takes things one step at a time. Nevertheless, this will frustrate those who want to see it run." (25/06/2007)

Le Soir - Belgia

For the editorialist Jurek Kuczkiewicz, the summit presented a new generation of leaders, such as Angela Merkel and Nicolas Sarkozy, who are "ready to get their shirts wet" for Europe. Their engagement, however, may not be enough. "The era of division has only begun. Because it should be kept in mind that the negotiation which was concluded had to do with the practical details of how the institutions will function, and not yet with the essential challenges for Europe : economic governance and globalisation, immigration, the battle against global warming, not to mention the re-evaluation of the Common Agricultural Policy, a true European time bomb, or further expansion. ... When the 27 diverging forces that we saw acting during this time collide over the vital issues, we will view the other night as the good old times". (25/06/2007)

The EU continues to be a "project of the elites" which ignores the general public, comments Viliam Buchert on the summit. "The remarks of the heads of government at the summit show that it is becoming increasingly difficult and complicated to reach a consensus in Europe. The ideal of profound integration is unconvincing. Although the old continent is not yet experiencing stagnation, there is frustration and uncertainty about which direction to take. How long should this be allowed to continue? Until we finally realise that the Americans, the Chinese or the Indian 'express trains' are surging ahead?" (25/06/2007)

Diena - Łotwa

Sanita Jemberga is delighted that a compromise was reached in Brussels, but harshly criticises Poland and Great Britain. "Poland's behaviour has made things more difficult for the other new EU member states, because we're frequently regarded as forming one homogenous block. Our joints efforts to make ourselves heard as the voice of formerly occupied states are hindered when such absurd arguments are brought into play that everyone would like to block their ears as soon as the World War is mentioned. But worst of all is Poland and England's absolute arrogance regarding the common interests of the EU." (25/06/2007)

Rzeczpospolita - Polska

The negotiations in Brussels produced a compromise which enabled Poland and the Kaczynski brothers to save face, concludes Polish journalist Piotr Semka. "Poland is too big to be classified as one of those Central European countries that don't even bother to conduct ambitious policies, but it's too weak to win the backing of its smaller neighbours. As a medium-sized country, neither Berlin nor Paris treat it as a partner whose opinion counts. How to respond to all this? Poland has loudly proclaimed: we want more than we're getting, and has endured the blows of the Union's tycoons. Now we have ten years to make use of the advantages of the binding Nice agreement. ... The hands of the Czechs and the Lithuanians, stretched out to help us, are the most valuable treasure of this conference. Moreover, in Brussels we were adopted into Europe's first league. This should give us cause for satisfaction." (25/06/2007)

Rue89 - Francja

"In adopting the 'mini-treaty', which has become in eurojargon a 'modified treaty', Nicolas Sarkozy has what appears to be his first big foreign policy success, painting him as the saviour of Europe. This could be heard saturating the French airwaves on Saturday", says Pierre Haski, director of the on-line daily. He considers that "this text, incomprehensible to the common European mortal, carries the mark of repeated blackmail brought, in the best European tradition, by Poland and Great Britain. ... This treaty is above all the reflection of an era, which is to say it shows a total absence of ambition and perspective, a refusal to give Europe the ability to weigh in on issues in an increasingly multipolar world, a world in which Europe has, in any case, given up trying to be a pole of influence."

Elsevier - Holandia

The new treaty is "a cosmetic success" for Dutch Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende, writes Syp Wunia. Certainly, he succeeded in having the text called something other than a constitution, but this "so-called success by Balkenende doesn't concern the heart of the treaty ... : the transfer of a vast jurisdiction to Brussels and Strasbourg, the loss of the veto in areas as vital as criminal code, immigration and access by foreign nationals to Dutch social security. Sovereignty is in the new European treaty as it was in the old Constitution, given up for the 'interests' of the European Union. It's as if all would become more democratic when it is no longer the Second Chamber (of Parliament) in The Hague, but the European Parliament in Strasbourg that decides everything. The loss of national jurisdiction is definitive, and it's on this point that Balkenende failed completely." (23/06/2007)
