Europe between renewal and decline

Jacques Delors spoke on 6 May 2013 during a public session of the Class of letters and moral and political sciences of the Royal academy of sciences, letters and fine arts of Belgium.

This Tribune points out the main elements of his speech:

• return to long-term memory,
• purpose of a Greater Europe
• consolidation of the Economic and Monetary Union.

It is followed by the introductory speech delivered by Philippe de Schoutheete, member of our board of directors, and dealing with moral authority in politics.
