History and relationships are shaped by people as much as by events. In Europe, we are now entering a phase of political conjuncture of new atlanticism with, on one hand, Germany of Angela Merkel reassuming its traditional role of backbone of the euro-atlantic relationship and relaunching interesting ideas such as the New Transatlantic Economic Partnership.

Last but not least, with Central and East European countries, who have always been keen on strong euro-atlantic bond.
