Chirac calls for new summit to “reconcile” EU with voters. Jacques Chirac has called for a new summit, possibly during the UK presidency, to discuss how to “reconcile” the EU with voters. He said in a speech to EU leaders, “France is ready to back the idea of a special meeting of heads of government to address those crucial issues on which the future of the Union, and each of our countries, depends”. He argued that there was a need to “launch a discussion on how to reconcile citizens with the European project and to bridge the gap that threatens to open between Europe and its peoples”.

Funny that, I though this had already been done, wasn’t it at some place called Laeken and didn’t they set up a convention of the future of Europe, and didn’t Giscard s little central controllers ignore the Laeken declaration and go full steam ahead for more integration and more power to the EU institutions, and wasn’t that idea rejected by France and Holland, which led to this problem in the first place. Talk about not listening.
