09/01/2003 (Agence Europe) - The Institute of European Studies - Jean Monnet faculty of the Catholic University of Leuven has published in Document N.26 "The Schuman Declaration (9 May 1950) to the Declaration of Laeken (15 December 2001) - "Words that are the Undoing of Europe" in which Paul Collowald looks at the "parallel ideas" of Robert Schuman and Jean Monnet, "genuine contemporaries" whose personal and professional directions were, nonetheless, quite different. Paul Collowald is the former Director General of Information at the European Parliament who first remembers the "ideas of Schuman in the forests of the Palatinate (where he was under house arrest) and from which he escaped on 1 August 1942". Robert Schuman believed that they had to escape from the notion of the hereditary enemy and propose to their different peoples a community, which would lay the basis for a future European country. Monnet, who was from March 1943 in Algiers, asserted in a long note dated 5 August, "there will be no peace in Europe if the countries are reconstituted on the basis of national sovereignty and the accompanying political prestige and economic protection". This reconciliation of hereditary enemies was the "great plan" of both Monnet and Schuman, which Paul Collowald points out, can be described as "utopian". Mr Collowald in this connection, quotes the book Notre foi dans ce siècle (Our Faith in this Century) by Michel Camdessus, Jean Boissonnat and Michele Albert who invented a three month concept pertain to Utopias whose realisation should be put to the test.
