Our Europe, my values, 20 years after the Fall of the Berlin Wall
After the successful results of the European integration process, first with the adoption of the Euro and afterwards with the gradual enlargement to the now 27 members states, today, following the defeat of the European Constitution project, and while waiting for the final approval of the Treaty of Lisbon, the European Union is undergoing a transitional period. It is searching, in fact, for a new organizational framework to bring an increased effectiveness and coherence to the European actions, scope and to its institutional functions, increasing its transparency, its administrative and communication simplification and its efficiency in managing the European resources.
