Foreign Minister Westerwelle calls for confidence in Europe

“I am very concerned by the recent opinion polls on Europeans’ views about their future and the role played by the process of European integration. Many people in Europe are losing faith in the joint European project. Especially in countries where people have been hit hard by the effects of the crisis, people are losing confidence in a better future for themselves and their children.

And the winner is…

It looks almost like a hand about to take flight on a breeze – as light and delicate as a feather. This effect has not been achieved by accident, as the creator of the winning logo has combined the universally recognized symbols of a hand and a bird. His name is Predrag Stakić, and he has now been honoured in New York as the winner of the global competition to find a human rights logo.
