To continue to believe that it is possible to construct an economic Europe without constructing a political Europe is always more dangerous, because this gap between the two projects leads directly to inefficiency. The European countries practice, among themselves, non co-operative politics, in search of competitiveness through competitive disinflation and the lowering of labour costs. But non co-operative politics are disadvantageous to Europe. We don’t believe that the countries of the European Union have come together only to better wage an economic war.
