Brussels, 01/10/2003 (Agence Europe) - With "Ten Questions on Europe", the federalist but anonymous (but the editor tells us that they are European civil servants and some of them are close to the European Convention), authors hoped to make their "contribution to the institutional debate". Among the questions they answer skilfully, we note the following: What stage are we at with the Community of Europe, and what lessons can we draw from fifty years of history? How can the States and populations of Europe become involved in building Europe in the 21st century? But their writings mainly target the European Commission, which it accuses of having invented "Penelope" in order to "clouded the issue to help them get away with it". And it is in answer to this draft European Constitution, and to the one that has come from the Convention in the meantime, that the authors propose their federalist alternative, named "Ulysses".
