| | EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AND MONETARY UNION |
 | | A European Commission report states: "According to this hypothesis, bilateral trade flows between countries with increased fluctuations in bilateral exchange rates should have declined relative to bilateral flows between countries with stable bilateral rates." But, continues the Report, "a significant link has not been established" and evidence for countries of the European union is inconclusive. | | | The most obvious benefit of creating a monetary union (MU) is the elimination of the need of having to convert EU member countries' currencies into each other, which some have estimated to add permanently possibly 1-2 percent to gdp of the member states. | | | Economics and politics are closely intertwined in the case of Emu, and benefits from Emu will not be derived without costs. |

| | KOINONIA - European values |
| | Nat Gerrs at "Why Europe?" (http://www.ellopos.net/politics/eu_why-europe.html) writes that the values of the European Union are "stolen from their source" and because of this they "will be more and more corrupted in the course of time, they will become unrecognisable and then unthinkable, until Europe will collapse in the dust of hypocrisy, scheming and barbarity". | | | Likewise the banality of a jargonised political language is perfectly observable in those countries like the United States of America or Australia where the official culture is one of total administration and maximum mobilisation within the confines of a strictly economical from of discourse that reflects the shallow veneer of their cultures. | | | These are European divisions and aberrations against the natural order that the culture industry now replicates unnaturally, and more fully by presenting a false consciousness of self-satisfied superficiality and conformism to the world, by wilfully ignoring the prohibitions and customs of any cultural group or community. |

| | European Union citizenship and European identity can be understood as a reformulating of nationalist ideas where the redrawing of the lines around a culturalist and physical Europe ensures the exclusion of non-European foreigners—an exclusion that could no longer be effectively or easily accomplished at the level of the nation-state. | | | The locus of authority for European Union citizenship is not delimited to the nation-state, or the national state members of the Union. | | | In spite of several key dissimilarities between European and North American regional integration, one can try to imagine a future equivalent of a NAFTA citizenship, encompassing the nationals of Canada, Mexico, and the United States. |

| | It should be no surprise, then, that European labour unions are really political organisations, straddling the economic and the social, closely allied to left-wing movements, and permanently camping in the corridors of power of all governments whether left or right. | | | It is common knowledge that the bulk of union expenditure, including the cost of keeping their bureaucracies in the comfort they feel entitled to, comes from the government, some avowed, some disguised in more or less ingenious ways. | | | In France, they cover perhaps a quarter of the budget of the only union, the CFDT, that is honest enough to publish any accounts. |

Alexander Aleinikoff and Douglas Klusmeyer, hope to use the research and discussion generated by the conference to identify the key emerging issues in citizenship policy and to evaluate methods by which these issues are being addressed. |
