In Finland we have spring-time and nice weather. Many social and environmental activists are happy about the victory we won yesterday when the City Council of Lovisa voted against selling a piece of land to the German energy giant E.ON for a new nuclear power station. I live just ca 15 Km Km from Lovisa myself.

Yesterday, we also celebrated the memory of the victory against Nazism 9 May, 1945, and the "Day of Europe", in commemoration of the Schuman Declaration of 9 May, 1950. The appeal of the then foreign minister of France, Robert Schuman,"led to the 1951 creation of the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC), first of the European Communities and predecessor of the European Union."

Well, that is the economic integration of Europe. Am still looking forward to the political unification of Europe. The key point is to keep politics in command, as Shiraz says.
