speech last night was clearly addressing his domestic electorate for re-election
as President of France and not as a champion of European unity. His vision is a
Gaullist one which has been superseded by greater European integration. It is
the intergovernmental Europe of nation states all selfishly fighting their own
corner that has brought us to where we are now. The only way out of the crisis
without destroying both the Single Currency and the Single Market is to rally
behind the Community method based on solidarity and the common
interest</I>."</P>

construction is based on commonly agreed rules, enforced by independent
authorities like the European Commission and Court of Justice. Merkel and
Sarkozy must not undo this fundamental principle in their quest for an end to
the crisis</I>."</P>

elements of a solution are already on the table. As Mario Draghi said yesterday,
it is basically just a question of sequencing. We need greater fiscal discipline
from all Member States of the eurozone along with a commitment to solidarity
which must include a common vision to reduce public debt with some form of
mutual guarantee.</I></P>

may need to entrench these principles via a Treaty update but measures need to
be taken now, not in several months time. Merkel and Sarkozy have only a few
days to sort out their differences or Europe risks being set back 50
years</I>."</P></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV>
