01/12/2005 (Agence Europe) - Jacques Delors and Guy Verhofstadt said, on Thursday in Brussels, that, in order to reconcile EU enlargement with EU consolidation, it is essential to have “differentiation” or enhanced cooperation between Member States, beginning with the Economic and Monetary Union. “We are otherwise condemned, like the choirs of operas, to say 'march on, march on' while remaining fixed to the spot”, the Belgian prime minister commented. Addressing MEP Jens Peter Bonde, who said that the Constitution is dead because the French and Dutch rejected it, Mr Delors said: “I have too much respect for the other Member States to tell them what they must do. What's this? - If a parliament takes a stance then it is considered anti-democratic? (…) That's deviation that can lead to the worst kind of populism or authoritarianism”. EUROPE will come back to this debate between the prizewinners of the Charlemagne Prize organised at the European Parliament on 1 December on the theme Quo Vadis Europa?
