European Elections: Abstention and Shift to the Right Due to political disaffection and distraction by the Kosovo conflict only 49 % of European voters found the way to the ballot box in the recent elections to the EU-Parliament held between June 10th and 13th. In most countries the voters used the occasion to chastise the Socialist parties in power. The biggest block in the Strasbourg parliament is now the European Popular Party which surpassed for the first time the Party of European Socialists. Good results obtained even the Liberals and especially the Green Parties, while the Communists suffered a major set-back. The next president of the EU-Commission, Romano Prodi, who is preparing to form the new European executive, must now consider the proposals of the Socialist national governments as well as the requests of the Popular majority block in the EU-Parliament. In September the new Commission must face a confidence vote in Strasbourg. eu • strasbourg • european union • elections • parliament

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. eu • jacques santer • edith cresson • eu commission • romano
