Speech by Professor Mark Eyskens, former Prime Minister of Belgium, during the conference of the International Association of University Presidents on 12 July 1999.
In addition to the comparative history of civilisation, philosophy is also of crucial importance because it is a discipline which encourages students to ask the right questions and thus to make a distinction between the essential and the inconsequential.
It may be that our education system in the past has planted too many exclamation marks and sown too few question marks, with the result that students need to be taught how to scatter question marks.

 Mark Eyskens
The post-industrial revolution is bringing about a new kind of scientific and technological revolution, whose primary effect is to enhance the capabilities of the human mind, the memory, the ability to process information and the capacity to be creative.
This is in marked contrast to the first and second industrial revolutions, which above all boosted the physical methods of production and mobility – the first thanks to the steam engine, the second thanks to electricity.
In addition to the comparative history of civilisations, philosophy is also of crucial importance because it is a discipline which encourages students to ask the right questions and thus to make a distinction between the essential and the accidental and the inconsequential.

Referring to the different options for a collective defence and “pending clarification of these issues”, Mr Eyskens felt it would be “preferable to maintain Article V of the modified Brussels Treaty outside the framework of the European Union and ask all new EU and European NATO members to accede to it”.
In the meantime it hoped that “enhanced cooperation” could be extended to other areas, in particular those covered by the ESDP and supported proposals from France and Germany for turning the ESDP into a security and defence Union.
Finally Mr Eyskens endorsed a proposal from President Jacques Chirac “for Europe to have some kind of Foreign Affairs Minister who would discharge, in respect of the Presidency of the European Council, the functions today carried out by the CFSP High Representative and External Affairs Commissioner”.

He was concerned that Austrian neutrality could stand in the way of a more integrated foreign policy (read: a more integrated military security policy).
Although Eyskens later admitted that his intervention was somewhat premature, this slip of the tongue can be considered a forerunner to a long, tiresome discussion over the core of the negotiation problem, namely the neutrality of Austria.
The Austrian constitution states that the country may not join an alliance and that no foreign military bases are to be allowed on Austrian soil.

The first attack on a sovereign nation in NATO's 50-year history has been anointed "Operation Allied Force" to project an image of shared responsibility, but while 13 of its 19 members have contributed aircraft, and eight participated in the first bombing wave, there is universal recognition that U.S. firepower is salvaging European security.
"Europe is an economic giant, a political dwarf and a military worm," said Mark Eyskens, a former Belgian foreign minister, as he reviewed the failure of European powers to halt the wars in Croatia and Bosnia that pitted Serbian nationalists against factional rivals earlier this decade.
After each of these, European Union leaders vowed to defend their interests by establishing a common foreign and security policy that would match Europe's commercial clout.

As the Belgian Foreign Minister Mark Eyskens wrote in 1989, "What has to be prevented at all costs in tomorrow's Europe is the rekindling of nationalism as a result of a renaissance of the nation-state."6
The very real instability we see today at a distance will have an increasingly direct impact on the security of Alliance members tomorrow.

 The Harvard Crimson :: Opinion :: Judgment at Maastricht
IN ADDITION to Europe's underlying desire to become a "player" again, Europeans are embarrassed by the Community's inability to respond coherently to the two major post-Cold War crises, the Gulf War and Yugoslavia.
The Euro-federalists hate the fact that, as the Belgian foreign minister Mark Eyskens noted, "The EC is an economic giant but a political dwarf and a military worm." They want to start changing this state of affairs at Maastricht, with as firm a call for political union as they can wheedle out of Britain.
A federal Europe, they say, will not be flat-footed when crises arise.
