“We’ve been looking at how we can bring back confidence in the European Union,” German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle said in Warsaw late on Monday as he arrived for a meeting of ministers in the Future of Europe Group, which he launched in March.
The 11-nation group is poised to submit a raft of recommendations to Herman Van Rompuy and Jose Manuel Barroso – heads, respectively, of the bloc’s intergovernmental and executive branches, neither of whom are elected by the EU’s 500 million people.
