Cartoon by Stuttmann on the slow progress of EU institutional reform (26 May 1997)
Image ‘EU reform. The 15 brake pedals are working perfectly, but where on earth is the accelerator?!!’ On 26 May 1997, German cartoonist Klauss Stuttmann takes an ironic look at the slow progress and deadlocks in the reform of the European Union. For British Prime Minister Tony Blair, the Europe of 15 has broken down and is no longer making any headway, to the despair of the Franco-German duo, which sees itself as the driving force of European integration. In the front row, German Chancellor Helmut Kohl and French President Jacques Chirac are looking somewhat dejected.
