ABSTRACT
The author was born in 1925, is president of the European Commission. This interview was conducted by author and first appeared in Le Monde on 12 October 1990. For the European Community, from a political point of view as well as from the point of view of the economic reinforcement of that Community, the price of unification is small. European Community unites peoples, but also it associates nations. Like West Germans, East Germans must decide between European integration, which implies sharing sovereignty, and another geopolitical situation in which they would become the economic, and tomorrow perhaps the political, lodestone of all Europe. The author concerns the Community that people found nothing that conflicts with the obligations that Germany has assumed towards the Community. The author concludes that "Germany in the Singular" series by an interview with the president of the European Commission.
