布鲁塞尔 - 在最新的国情咨文演讲中,欧盟委员会主席乌尔苏拉·冯德莱恩回顾了近80年前的历史,提到了1948年的欧洲大会。
BRUSSELS - In her latest State of the Union address, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen reached back almost 80 years for inspiration, invoking the 1948 Congress of Europe, which brought together political leaders, intellectuals and civil-society representatives to debate how a devastated continent could build a peaceful European future.On that model, she wants to convene a new Congress of Europe next year to coincide with the 70th anniversary of the Treaty of Rome (which created the European Economic Community, the precursor to the European Union).The goal of convening Europe’s “most brilliant minds” to “produce a vision that can inspire the new generation and recapture the European imagination” is worth pursuing. What Europe really needs, however, is not another grand vision, but a concrete plan for weathering this era of structural disruption.
那次大会聚集了政治领袖、知识分子和民间社会代表,共同探讨如何在一个满目疮痍的大陆上构建一个和平的欧洲未来。

基于这一模式,她计划明年召开新的欧洲大会,以纪念《罗马条约》(欧洲经济共同体的创始条约,也是欧盟的前身)签署70周年。

虽然召集欧洲最杰出的人才来“提出能够激励新一代并重新激发欧洲人想象力的愿景”是一个值得追求的目标,但欧洲真正需要的并不是另一个宏大的愿景,而是一个应对当前结构性动荡时代的切实可行的计划。
