Paris, 20/06/2001 (Agence Europe) - In Wednesday's Le Monde, European Commissioner Pascal Lamy, former Secretaries of State Henri Nallet and Dominique Strauss-Kahn and former Minister of State, Jean-Noel Jeanneney say, regarding the future of Europe, that the "reformatted Commission" should be "politically homogenous" and the Council of Ministers "have muscle", and that the European Parliament should be able to be dissolved. In addition, they consider that the "principle of a gathered force at the heart of continental solidarity", of a closer entity within another", but open, should be able to be affirmed. And they suggest: - first offering Germany "a strengthened Union among two" (with France, with, notably, a "Congress composed of representatives of the two parliaments, frequent ministerial meetings between the two Cabinets, and a permanent Secretariat"); - calling for the "later rallying around of other partners, as quickly as possible". According to them, this way, naturally and soon, from the specific familiarity that, between twelve nations, rallying around the euro has created, arrive at affirming a specific whole", "we would finally lead to the economic government which the French Left has rightly been demanding for a long time", and ensure, "more so than with thirty partners, influential collective diplomatic and military reaction in case of the crises that will inevitably surface".
