It is now urgent that the insights that have animated Franco-German relations be applied to all of Central and Eastern Europe.

现在迫切需要将激活法德关系的那种洞察力推广到中东欧所有国家当中。只有在整个地区实现欧洲同一性，让不断发展的俄德关系融入到欧洲的整体背景，欧盟才能继续拥有稳定和繁荣。只有在全欧洲加强开放贸易以及金融关系，我们才有希望战胜今天的危机。这是因为让中东欧国家自生自灭，或者让德俄两国在危机期间相互仇视不符合任何一个欧洲国家的利益，对欧盟整体而言也不会带来任何好处。
