PARIS : Curtain Rises on One Germany
One week before German unification, some of Europe’s leading political figures gather in Paris today for a one-day seminar on the impact of a united Germany in a changing Europe.
Among those providing their wisdom will be French President Francois Mitterrand, European Commission President Jacques Delors, West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl and one of Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev’s closest advisers, Alexander N. Yakovlev.
The timing of the seminar, sponsored by several European newspapers, together with the prominence of those attending, reflect both the priority attached by Europe’s leadership to German unity and the uncertainty of its meaning.
