Gideon Rachman, Financial Times | March 4, 2009
The economic crisis could result in an outbreak of nationalism across Europe. ++ It would be a retrograde step to roll back the successes that have been made in the areas of free movement of goods, people, services and capital. ++ These are important rights for European citizens. ++ Division when international co-operation is required would be unfortunate. ++ It may be the case that the future threat to the European Union comes not from governments wishing to protect their national interests, but from the bureaucrats in Brussels themselves.
