Brussels, 22/09/2003 (Agence Europe) - Hungary's Prime Minister Peter Medgyessy opposed the idea of a "two-speed Europe" to make common foreign and security policy move forward in an enlarged 25-member Europe. In an interview with Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Mr Medgyessy said that "a Europe in which several groups of countries move forward at different speeds holds no interest for us". The Hungarian Prime Minister is not opposed to cooperation varying from one Member State to the next in some areas, for example single currency (on condition, however, that it is not a question of "closed clubs", he said). The head of the Hungarian government, however, said that common foreign and security policy must be conducted together by all Member States on the basis of consensus backed by all. He felt that such consensus should be possible. "I cannot imagine how some member States can speak of the need to create a strong Europe without being ready to give up certain national powers at the same time", he continued. Mr Medgyessy also announced that his country intended to act, after accession, as an "initiator of new ideas" in the enlarged EU, mainly taking advantage of its "experience" in the Balkans or in relations with Ukraine. Hungary trusts that the IGC will reach a good treaty, however long discussions take.
