		<description><![CDATA[TweetYesterday the Council faced the choice of a two-tier structure within Europe or a two-speed Europe, today we have a bit of both thanks to the uncompromising stance of British prime minster David Cameron. With &#8216;key national interests&#8217; threatened, Cameron saw no other option than to opt-out from signing a new Treaty, which was agreed [...]]]></description>

Both inside and outside of Kosovo, we are confronted with a staggering list of problems, some of which are sensitive [...]]]></description>

A little swing upwards by the markets, and our spirits rise. Maybe this time European Council leaders have reached something [...]]]></description>

In it, a listener could find three intertwining trends: (1) National governments face times of austerity, (2) while the European Union budget faces a financial era, not just because its own budget needs deciding on, but of course also because of lingering [...]]]></description>

Legitimacy is just what Eurozone members seem to be lacking at this precise moment, equalled only by their lack of determination and decisiveness. What newspapers such as the Economist argued for over sixteen months ago, European [...]]]></description>

Newspapers, conservatives, libertarians, politicians – or in fact anyone else not fond of Hobbes’ Leviathan’s presence in contemporary politics – will find recognition, ideals and justification for drafting an account of self-determination and ultimate individual freedom. In Holland I have read her objectivism serve the goals of cutting subsidies [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tweet Contrary to popular belief, the European Union (EU) does not have an official flag, only a symbol or a logo. Politicians pulling the strings of those who were drafting the Lisbon treaty prevented it from becoming a theoretical justified reality, but why doesn&#8217;t the EU have a flag? After the turbulent years in which [...]]]></description>

Franco-German pacts on economic governances within the Eurozone aren’t just unpopular with those who want to join that monetary zone, but also those that do not want to be excluded in an ongoing integration process.  The sound of silence coming from the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[TweetIn reply to an article found on &#8216;Nosemonkey&#8217;s EUtopia&#8216; (personally, I think the content is much better than the name makes you think). The question is whether or not it is possible to make a cost/benefit analysis of European Union membership. While neither of us has offered insights that give an actual comprehensive answer, the [...]]]></description>
