For the attention and consideration of Europe's leaders
What has happened to Europe?
You've told us that the EU stands as a select body of nations believing in social and economic freedom. Circumstances have proved that the interests of individual nations are not identical. At the same time the separate identities have, until now, been seen as a strength rather than weakness. With the region's experience and expertise now is not the time to hide your heads in the sand....
New problems are looming.. Live not under any illusions. You cannot opt out of the world!
Your capacity to play a constructive role in world affairs is related to economic strength. If you hope to guarantee your way of life, the question you must ask yourselves is whether the present leadership is fulfilling their duty. The battles are being fought in your territory, not ours.
This is the moment - a moment when your decisions will determine the life or death of your kind of society; - and the future of your children.*
* With apologies to Margaret Thatcher whose words roused the nation's collective spirit. Will Chancellor Merkel be hailed as Europe's new Iron Lady?
