 Reflection group finds no fixed list of European values | European Union Agenda 2004-09
A group of intellectuals has conducted a soul-searching exercise into what Europe and European culture really is. After two years of work, they conclude that it is impossible to define what a European cultural space is as it is a process which depends on constant confrontation with the "new".
Concluding that a new form of political action is needed, the authors argue that the old sources which drove European unification are no longer sufficient and that "new sources of energy must be looked for and found in Europe's common culture".
For instance, the part dealing with the role of European religions and Islam in particular, as well as the section on Europe's role in the world are relatively underdeveloped.
