Actuallly some people say, that now - after Franco-German duo's influence has got weaker - it is a chance for antoher ideas.

The problem is, that I don't really see any chance for making EU more liberal (as far as economy is concerned, of course).
The reason why the French rejected the European Constitution was, that they considered it as being to liberal. They were afraid, that it will demolish their welfare system.

At the same time Great Britain, and the "New Europe" want the EU's economy to become more and more free.

Another problem is, that I don't believe Jacque-ass Chirac will accept any ideas about EU coming from Poland. His "dignity" will not let it happen.

Remember - when Poland supported Bush's War on Terror - Chirac commented in public press conference, that we missed the opportinity to shut up.

Thanks for your thoughts. Yeah, if some European countries want to pursue economic ideas built around freedom, then those countries might have to realize that France and Germany and other parts of "old Europe" are not going to participate. That may not be a bad thing -- maybe some freedom-loving countries can build their own alliance.
