In the April edition of The European Journal, Chairman of the European Foundation, Bill Cash MP, warned of the major developments under the German EU Presidency and tells of how the EU now faces the prospect of a German Europe.
In his essay, ‘The German Question’, he claims: “If the framework of Europe is to be relevant in the 21st Century, to face globalisation and other challenges presented by international affairs, the assumption that Europe has to be built upon the template of the Franco-German partnership must be disentangled. … Without radical change, the evolution of the EU would lead to a German Europe. The institutions and treaties reasoned under the terms of the Franco-German partnership need to be unravelled and renegotiated to support a simpler and freer association of nation states with national referendums on all existing treaties. A democratic answer to the German Question at last.”

The European Foundation
The European Foundation is a think-tank, providing both challenging arguments and solid facts on the European Union that will benefit you no matter which side of the debate you approach the issue. Our outlook begins from a Eurorealist viewpoint, and as such, we believe in making the European Union an institution which is beneficial to all the countries and peoples involved. We believe that greater democracy can only be achieved among the various peoples of Europe by the fundamental renegotiation of the binding treaties of Maastricht (1992), Amsterdam (1997) and Nice (2001). The Foundation does not advocate withdrawal from the European Union, rather its thoroughgoing reform. In sum, by taking a Eurorealist position on global economic and political developments, the European Foundation's raison d'être has been: “yes to European trade, no to European government.”
