European Union: Europe´s First Government Crisis

With the resignation of the European Commission led by Jacques Santer, the European Union has finally experienced, after 41 years, its first real government crisis. Mr. Santer, a former prime minister of Luxembourg, fell over allegations of fraud and mismanagement against some of his commissioners, accusations which were confirmed by the report of an independent commission engaged by the European Parliament. To resolve the crisis of the European executive, a decision of the European Council, the assembly of the prime ministers of the partner states, was necessary. Under the chairmanship of German chancellor Gerhard Schröder Europe's prime ministers met in Berlin and nominated their former Italian colleague Romano Prodi as the next President of the Commission. Prodi will take his office after the European elections in June. Guiding Europe into the next millennium he will also have a leading role in the necessary reforms of the European institutions.
