EU: SUPPORT FOR CLOSER INTEGRATION
Article Abstract:
European leaders gave their backing on 20 June 2000 for moves to enable closer assimilation among certain European Union (EU) nations in a move which would effectively consign other members to a slow lane. The UK is wary of such moves but both Germany and France are backing plans regarded in some quarters as the start of a new tight band of nations with a major commitment to integration. Further details will emerge over the coming six months but the feeling is that the establishment of a new inner core may alter EU politics and place pressure on unenthusiastic integrationists.
