A luncheon debate with Yann-Sven RITTELMEYER, Research Fellow, Study Committee for Franco-German Relations (Cerfa), Ifri
On 22 January 2013, Paris and Berlin will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Elysée Treaty. After a year 2012 marked in France by a political change, Germany enters in its turn in campaign. Can the jubilee lead to a new step of the Franco-German cooperation? The bilateral relationship seems to be facing several difficulties: about the crisis that concern the EU today and perhaps more broadly about the very conception of the future of Europe. In front of this new European order, does the Franco-German engine still work?
