Federation and a wider union

Conclusion

I have ranged widely, perhaps too widely, over some of the key issues which confront the EU. But I feel strongly that without a profound debate over the future of the Union we will stumble from one crisis to the next, with real dangers for the stability of our Continent.

Let us think deeply about the future of our Continent and let us seize the opportunity of the enlargement of the European Union at the same time.

The six ministers of foreign affairs of the candidate countries considered Minister Fischer's proposals to be a useful and interesting example of positive thinking targeted at the future of Europe. This position of candidate countries is still another proof contradicting the claims of those who think those countries are not ready yet to discuss the development of integration, that they are too involved in the process of harmonisation with theacquis communautaire. I hope that this article will also contribute to the repudiation of this cliché. Poland does not solely wish to enter Europe. Poles wants to talk about its future.
