the project of europe was an idea of the Napoleon Empire...

since the Napoleonic empire, europe has always been the big project, even during that time engineers where starting to build the channel tunnel to put the English royalty closer to the continent. Today the tunnel exist and it is the symbol of the french and english friendship but also a new step for the great europe.

Just imagine a continent of 700 million consumers, (250 million for USA himself), where countries combine their force concerning economy, security, and freedom. 1998 has been the year of birth of the common money, the Euro, for the first 11 European countries. Never before, different countries combines their common currencies and this is just the beginning. Today, the european community represent 21 countries. The 21 century will see may others from the east of europe integrating into the great europe of Napoleon dreams./tg.
