The NATO summit in Bucharest is less than a week away. Yet Macedonia’s bid to join the trans-Atlantic alliance hangs in the balance. Strangely, the problem is the name of my country, which Greece doesn’t recognize, and not our record on civil and military reforms, which Macedonia has been diligently pursuing.NATO summit hijacked by a dispute over a name
Commenting on the conclusions of the NATO summit in Bucharest, Graham Watson (Leader of the Liberals and Democrats in the European Parliament) said:For Macedonia, NATO Summit a Disappointment
BUCHAREST, Romania, April 4 -- What's in a name? A rose by any other name may smell as sweet, but not to the Greeks.OTAN/UE: la courageuse stratégie de Sarkozy
Un commentaire, un peu long certes, posté sur Rue89. Tres bon débat entre Justin Vaisse et Pierre Haski . Autant etre honnete, je pense que la stratégie de Sarkozy sur l’OTAN est la bonne.

Labour’s 2009 EP candidates
Thanks to LME for posting up the list of all of Labour’s candidates for the 2009 European Parliament elections - 69 candidates in all. Below you can find the full list. Apart from the retirement of Glenys Kinnock and Gary Titley all the other MEPs are sitting pretty at the top of the lists. With a small drop in the total number of MEPs I fear there will be no new faces at all, confirming my previous concern.
