- Social democracy is not merely going through a rough patch: it has seen a steady decline in support over the last three decades. It is unlikely to see any revival in its fortunes until it rediscovers its foundational principles, and throws off the restrictions to its 'radical horizon of the imagination'. If it does not, it is not just a tragedy for the parties themselves, but for all of Europe, as dark forces to the right of mainstream conservatism wait in the wings to fill the vacuum its absence creates.

- Every Friday at the EUobserver, the journalists and editors get together for our weekly editorial meeting where we have a look at the agendas of the various European institutions for the coming seven days, talk, argue and ruminate about what we think is likely to happen and then divvy up the stories amongst ourselves. We’re a pretty chummy bunch, specialising internally in scorching cynicism, so it’s altogether a rather enjoyable afternoon.

- - Endnu engang har Europa vist vejen i kraft af handling, ikke ord – ved at blive den første region i verden, der implementerer så vidtgående, juridisk bindende klima- og energimål! Sådan sagde Europa-Kommissionens præsident Jose Manuel Barroso i foråret og lykønskede dermed sig selv og de øvrige EU-ledere, kort efter at de formelt havde vedtaget den skelsættende klima- og energipakke.
