After a long summer break I am returning back to this EU-CO-LOGIC blog with the prospect of having more to write about in the next months when the Portuguese Presidency will start new debates on the “Reform Treaty” [see EurActiv LinksDossier].
Not that I have many illusions though. The kind of fundamental changes that I am advocating (in search of an Eco-Europe) will for sure not get that much attention but I hope we can help with this blog at least to stir up the debate a bit. But to do this, I will need the help of anyone who believes to EU should re-engineer itself.
For those still not convinced of the need for serious EU reform, read the interview EurActiv did with Martin Konečný of CEE Bankwatch Network. The EU’s structural funds programmes are actually contributing to “unsustainable development”, says Konečný, and some projects are in clear contradiction with the EU’s climate change policies.
