‘Onwards to the next Euro-conference.’ On 23 July 1985, Fritz Behrendt, a Dutch cartoonist originally from Berlin, paints an ironic picture of the quarrels and disagreements between the Heads of State or Government of the Member States of the European Communities over how to make progress on the institutional reform of the Communities and the question of a revision of the treaties. The smiles and good cheer displayed in the group photo following the successive European Councils give the impression that everything is going well, but in reality the future development of the European Communities is undermined by disagreements between the Ten.
