Description
Summary:This article contends that the present European Union has little in common with the European Economic Community, of which Belgium was a founding & most active member, conscientious of the necessity of European integration. Since the Treaty of Maastricht, Europe has changed significantly. The author ascribes this development to a double process: enlargement & integration, on the one hand, & democratization, thanks to the strengthening of parliament & the commission, on the other. He presents insights of where Europe is going & adds that the coming years will bring tensions between the Committee & Parliament that will place the Commission in a delicate position, yet full of potential.
