Cette d\u00e9p\u00eache qui nous rapporte les consid\u00e9rations du Commissaire europ\u00e9en Guenter Verheugen au Sueddeutsche Zeitung<\/em> du jour est \u00e0 lire attentivement. R\u00e9sumons par le constat que le Commissaire semble d\u00e9couvrir que \u00ab quelque chose de fondamental<\/em> \u00bb est en train de se produire en Europe, que \u00ab cette crise touche \u00e0 quelque chose de fondamental<\/em> \u00bb, et il va m\u00eame jusqu’\u00e0 \u00e9prouver l’impression que \u00ab le sol est en train de trembler sous nos pieds<\/em> \u00bb (cela s’appelle un tremblement de terre). <\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00ab Europe needs more time to decide how to proceed with its troubled constitution following its rejection by French and Dutch voters, the vice president of the Commission was quoted as saying on Tuesday. The original goal of bringing the constitution into force in 2007 cannot be reached anymore, Guenter Verheugen told Sueddeutsche Zeitung. It would be quite wrong to impose tight time limits at this point. A whole series of countries simply need more time for discussion to restore public trust in Europe, he said.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bb Verheugen said he had not been particularly surprised by the outcome of the French and Dutch referendums on the constitution but he said he was worried by the widespread mood of disillusion in the bloc. The mood has changed everywhere where referendums are planned, he said. Something really fundamental has happened. A feeling of discontent that has been building up for a long time has spilled over. It is as though decades of practical experience with Europe has completely passed people by. <\/em>[…] This crisis touches on something quite fundamental, Verheugen said. It needs a political answer, a clear strategy for Europe in the global age. We have to see leadership. <\/em>[…] At the moment, I have the feeling that the ground is shaking beneath our feet, he said.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
