EDITORIAL

A revealing poll by Eurobarometer The «no» vote by France and the Netherlands to the referendum on the European Constitution six months ago was not just a one-off reaction. The findings of the latest Eurobarometer survey show that citizens of European Union member states are increasingly cautious at the prospect of further EU enlargement. This applies particularly to the accession of Turkey, which Europeans clearly oppose.

In response to any attempt by the government to make changes in public administration, labor laws or the social security system, George Papandreou calls for «the agreement of all concerned» as a condition for his party's approval.
