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
