‘Had we thought about sharing out all the European institutions? Excuse me … Where might I find the headquarters of the European employment agency?’ On 3 November 1993, French cartoonist Pierre Potus gives an ironic depiction of the decision to make Frankfurt the seat of the European Central Bank and illustrates the fine gesture of French President François Mitterrand (centre), who personally gives his agreement on this location to German Chancellor Helmut Kohl (on the left). But the people of Europe are more worried about their professional future and are speculating on European initiatives for employment.
