 On the 50th birthday of the European Union, Ambassador Klaus Scharioth invited future American leaders, the ambassadors of EU countries and Ambassador John Bruton, head of the European Commission Delegation in Washington to celebrate the EU’s history and contemplate visions for its future. 
“As people across Europe celebrate the unprecedented peace and prosperity that European integration has brought us since the signing of the Treaties of Rome fifty years ago, I have invited university students for a discussion about the future of Europe,” Ambassador Scharioth said to guests at the Ambassador’s Residence on Sunday. “The perspective of these students from this side of the Atlantic is a critical one; support from the United States has been essential to the project of European integration from the beginning.”

Scharioth recalled the great European statesmen—Schuman, Monnet, De Gasperi, Spaak, and Adenauer—whose vision of integration laid the foundation for the European Union in the 50s, as well as American leaders— Truman, Marshall, McCloy and Kennan—who helped Europe get back on its feet and supported integration.

“In 1989 when the peoples in Eastern Germany and Eastern Europe eventually brought down the Berlin wall, great leaders on both sides skillfully managed the difficult transition,” Scharioth continued. “In 1990, George Bush said: ‘The United States is proud to have built with you the foundations of freedom.’ I can say that American pride is matched by European gratitude.”

Enlargement of the European Union is a great success story of peaceful change, Scharioth said in conclusion. “Yet, European integration is still a work in progress. We have to find a new common basis to face the challenges of the future together successfully: violent radicalisation, poverty and disease, energy and climate change to name just a few. Europe is our common future as is transatlantic cooperation and friendship.”

The young leaders, university students, each offered their visions for the future of Europe, giving the EU’s high-ranking representatives in Washington “food for thought.” They had each succeeded in a contest of ideas sponsored by Professor Dan Hamilton from the Center for Transatlantic Relations at Johns Hopkins University.  Molly France – Catholic University “We propose the creation of an independent public affairs television station modeled on C-SPAN that would cover sessions of European Parliament, Commission proceedings, and the workings of the Council of Ministers, and its inclusion in every cable and satellite package.”
Stephen M. Mintz – The George Washington University “The US Response Corps consists of highly trained civilians with nation building skills. The EU should develop a similar capability, thus presenting an opportunity to solve world problems and further our friendship through cooperation.”


Katherine Hall – The George Washington University “An educational campaign via all media must be undertaken on behalf of the Constitutional Treaty.
Nick Haslam – Johns Hopkins University “Climate change is a long term goal with immediate requirements. Decisive and sustainable results to protect the environment are possible only in cooperation of the EU and the US”.

Arthur Zepf - US Naval Academy " The EU is the best example of cooperation, however it needs to better itself as a cooperative military force. It will then acquire a leading role in the world.  "

Efthymia Drolapas - Georgetown University " A future Europe with a centralized intelligence system, a centralized foreign representation system to speak with one voice in the international community and a European Security force to promote and support its foreign commitments will have a security power that reflects its dynamic position."
