The
Centre for European Reform is a think-tank devoted
to reforming the European Union. It is a forum for
people with ideas to discuss the many social, political
and economic challenges facing Europe.

The
war in Georgia divided the European Union instead of
uniting it. Some member-states condemned Russia and
gave (non-military) aid to the Georgian government;
others accused Tbilisi of provoking the war. EU capitals
make very different assumptions about Moscow’s
goals, and these differences will hamper Europe’s
post-war policy on Russia. But this should not prevent
Europe from responding: the EU should take a more active
role in defusing ‘frozen’ conflicts in Eastern
Europe, and it should accelerate the integration of
countries between the EU and Russia into the European
Union.

France's
EU presidency was always going to be ambitious, with
wide-ranging plans for climate change, immigration and
defence. Now, however, President Sarkozy will have to
focus on resolving the legal and institutional mess
created by the Irish No to the EU's Lisbon treaty. The
CER's analysts explain what Europe can expect from the
French presidency.
