State of the European Union

 On February 7th, the Heritage Foundation hosted a panel of three Members of the European Parliament. All three are members of the European Conservatives & Reformists Group, a trans-national alliance of like-minded political parties. After providing a short tutorial on the organization of the EU they discussed their views on:

• How well the European Union is managing the problems of Europe
• Complications of and prospects for the current Euro financial crisis
• How the EU and NATO play in the area of defense 
• Advice to President Obama on how to deal with Europe

Video and audio versions of the talk (duration: 1hr:20min) are available from the Heritage Foundation. Condensed, bulletized notes can be downloaded from www.NotableThinking.com
