What Europe will look like in 25 years from now may well be
determined earlier than that. Let’s fast forward to late March 2017, the
60th anniversary of the treaty of Rome that established the European
Economic Community. On March 25th, 38 European leaders are gathering in
Rome, 28 of them from EU countries and 10 more from Norway, Switzerland,
Serbia, Bosnia, Albania, Iceland, Northern Macedonia, Turkey,
Montenegro and Kosovo. The EU leaders are there to sign a new European
treaty while others are negotiating the final stages of EU membership
and therefore express their intention to sign the treaty upon accession
before 2025.
