  • Is Europe Back on Track? Impetus from the German EU Presidency
    Is Europe back on track? Impetus from the German EU Presidency CEPS Working Document No. 273/July 2007 Sebastian Kurpas & Henning Riecke Abstract Rarely has an EU Presidency been met with such high expectations as Germany’s in the first half of 2007. With hindsight, it might be said that these expectations have largely been fulfilled. The agreement on a detailed mandate for the upcoming Intergovernmental Conference (IGC) under the Portuguese Presidency now offers a way forward for a Union that has been ‘in crisis’ since the French and Dutch no-votes. This report offers an overview of the German Presidency’s aims in the various policy areas and makes an assessment of the achievements of its six-month term. A summary of the content and structural background of German EU policy is given, explaining developments since unification, Germany’s motivations for European integration, public opinion on European integration and the stances taken by the key political players in Germany. Insight into the organisational structures of the Presidency appears in the annex. While acknowledging the difficulty of gauging the exact impact of the German presidency in relation to other factors, the report draws mostly positive conclusions on internal policies, where agreement on many concrete measures from the presidency’s work programme could be achieved, notably on the single market, justice and home affairs, climate protection and energy policy. With the ‘Berlin Declaration’ Germany achieved a show of unity for the future of the Union that was an auspicious start for the talks on treaty reform. While it is clear that the agreement reached was not only on Germany’s merit, the presidency played a prominent and constructive role throughout the negotiations.

  • 1. the Constitution for Europe and the Lisbon Treaty
    Bogdan Koszel Adam Mickiewicz University Poznań FRENCH-GERMAN COOPERATION IN THE EUROPEAN UNION IN 2007-20131 1. The Constitution for Europe and the Lisbon Treaty The Bundestag election campaign in the second half of 2005 overlapped with a serious crisis in the European Union that resulted from the failure to implement Germany’s coveted project of the Constitution for Europe. The Treaty, pushed by the SPD-Greens coalition government, and especially by Chancellor Gerhard Schröder and Foreign Affairs Minister Joschka Fischer, was signed on 29 October 2004 at the Roman Capitoline Hill and needed to be ratified by the European Parliament and parliaments of EU Member States. After its ratification by the German Bundestag and Bundesrat (12 and 27 May 2005), the finale of the referendum campaign in France was monitored by Germany with great concern as the number of opponents of the European constitution was on the rise in France. The pessimistic scenario came true, and on 29 May 2005 the French (54.87%) rejected the Constitutional Treaty which led to a political upheaval in the European Union. The explicit, though expected, French vote of no confidence for this project disappointed Brussels and puzzled Berlin. After the French referendum, the position of President Jacques Chirac notably weakened in French politics. His political instinct clearly failed him, as his decision on holding the referendum and the assumed victory of supporters of the European Constitution was intended to strengthen his position on the French political arena, which did not happen2. The direct consequence of the unsuccessful referendum was the dismissal of the government of Jean Pierre Raffarin and the appointment of the cabinet of Dominique de Villepin (31 May 2005).

The Eurocrisis triggered debates over leadership within the European Union. This thesis analyzes the Federal Republic of Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel’s leadership profile during the Eurocrisis. Throughout this thesis, the Eurocrisis is discussed by use of chaos theory borrowed from physics and understood as a chaotic system. From this perspective, Chancellor Angela Merkel’s leadership profile is going to be analyzed within three time phases during the Eurocrisis period between 2009 and 2013 with four types of leadership. In terms of structure and theoretical perspective, this thesis makes a unique contribution to the prevailing literature.

The first part of the article analyses Ger- many’s position on the constitutional crisis of the European Union. The second part describes the activities of the Federal Government during the German EU Presidency. The third part of the work reconstructs the German attitude to the 2007 Intergovern- mental conference and the content of the Treaty of Lisbon of 13 December 2007.1 1. Germany’s Run-Up to the Presidency of the European Union during the Constitutional Crisis The ratification of the constitutional Treaty encountered unexpected difficulties already in 2005, when it was rejected by referendum first inf rance (29 May), and then in the netherlands (1 June) by citizens of the said countries. The negative outcomes of the referenda in France and the Netherlands triggered a serious political crisis in the European Union called the constitutional crisis. In this situation, heads of state or government of the eu Member states adopted on 18 June 2005 in Brussels a decla- ration stating that the rejection of the Treaty by France and the Netherlands requires introduction of a “period of reflection.” The said period, which was to take one year, was intended to serve for launching in each Member state a broad debate on the Treaty ratification process with citizens, civil society, social partners, national parliaments and political parties (ec.
