[FR] Europe’s unity: a project for the 21st century

‘LECCIO MAGISTRALIS’ by Jacques Delors opening the 2005-2006 academic session of the European College of Parma, Parma, 5 November 2005.

Invited to deliver the inaugural lecture of this academic year, I did not want to stray from the general outlook for Europe, since during the year, thanks to an extremely well-designed and detailed programme, you will have the opportunity to tackle the various aspects of European integration, with all their technical specificities. But when we talk about general perspectives, we need to find a title, which I would summarise as: the unity of Europe, a project for the 21st century.
