Convention on the Future of Europe: Statements.

 

Europe is moving slowly and inexorably towards a large federalist union. I am not afraid of that. I do not care if it is called a federalist union or the United States of Europe or the European Union. The great power and richness of this organisation will be its diversity, because there are so many languages, people, creeds and beliefs and so on. Speaking of languages, this is something that will have to be tackled eventually. We cannot have 25 different languages, but instead should designate one or two. I am sure English will win out in the end, but that is for another day.
