	A View from Maastricht - 1
		At Maastricht, the oldest city in the Netherlands, its lazily-flowing water is crossed by the Romans' road from Belgian Tongeren to German Aachen (Tongres to Aix-la-Chapelle in this multilingual region of confusing roadsigns).
		Today, modern Maastricht exploits that history to draw in the tourists and, because Maastricht is neither Dutch nor Belgian nor German, but fairly representative of the mongrel mixture that is Europe, sometimes it draws also the politicians.
		The Maastricht flags and the European Union flags fluttered a brief, careless farewell as we left the square.

		It is not as a Dutchman that I consider this Treaty to be one of the most important milestones of the European integration process, but as a truly convinced European.
		In this respect, I consider that the Maastricht Treaty embodies the most decisive impulse in the deepening of the European Communities established in the 1950s and strengthened by the Treaty of Rome.
		When the Maastricht Treaty was ratified ten years ago, many doubted whether EMU would ever amount to more than the solemn words of a Treaty or a laudable objective to be reached at some point in the distant future.

	The Myth Of Maastricht – World Socialist Movement
		The Treaty of Maastricht adopted the ambitious aim of establishing a single European currency as the solution to this problem.
		These are the famous "Maastricht criteria" which all governments hoping to be in the first wave of countries adopting the Single European Currency are striving to meet.
		Maastricht only comes into it because it was when and where the member states of the Common Market decided to coordinate and harmonise the austerity measures that capitalism currently dictates should be taken.

		If European institutions or organs were to implement and extend the Treaty in such a way that it was not covered by the Treaty, as it underlies the German ratification law, then the legal acts flowing from it would not be binding in the German field of sovereignty.
