Przemawiając w collegu w Brugii przewodniczący Konwentu zaproponował nadanie
zjednoczonej Europie nazwy Stany Zjednoczone Europy.
Kiedy jeszcze rok czy dwa lata temu eurosceptycy mówili, że wszystko zmierza
do stworzenie europejskiego superpanstwa, takich Stanow Zjednoczonych Europy,
euroentuzjasci nazywali ich prawicowymi oszołomami i zaprzeczali że coś
takiego w ogóle jest planowane. A tu proszę!

The European Union is maybe in the future to be named the United States of
Europe, suggested the president of the Convention on the Future of Europe,
Valery Giscard d’Estaing on Wednesday, in a speech in the Belgium city of
Brugge, reports the Danish newspaper Politiken.
The Convention is at the moment working on a new European treaty that might
lead to a European constitution, but now the former French president also
wants to discuss the name of the Union.
"This linguistic question is not irrelevant, since the name has a symbolic
power that gives the individual citizen the possibility of identifying
themselves with the European project's uniqueness and ambitions", said Mr
Giscard d'Estaing in the College of Brugge.
The speech by Mr Giscard d'Estaing, which is bound to spark controversy, came
on the eve of the Convention's planned meeting session to take place in
Brussels over the next two days.
