L'UE soutient le projet UPM
"Le projet a obtenu un vaste soutien du Conseil" des chefs d'Etat et de gouvernement des 27 pays de l'Union européenne, réunis jeudi à Bruxelles, a indiqué le Premier ministre slovène Janez Jansa, dont le pays préside l'UE. "Il s'agit maintenant d'y travailler dans les différences instances, il s'agit de faire le nécessaire pour que ce projet voit le jour", a-t-il ajouté.
Pour vaincre les réticences de plusieurs pays, en particulier de l'Allemagne, la France a dû mardi revoir en baisse ses ambitions pour ce projet.
La Commission européenne, qui a le plus à perdre dans le projet originel qui prévoyait de n'associer que les pays riverains de la Méditerranée, a donné le signe du ralliement. "En ce qui concerne l'Union méditerranéenne, nous la soutenons pleinement", a déclaré son président, José Manuel Barroso. L'accord de l'Allemagne semble avoir rassuré tout le monde.
La France voulait initialement limiter le périmètre de l'UPM aux seuls 22 pays strictement riverains de la Méditerranée, plus le Portugal, la Jordanie et la Mauritanie, ce qui avait suscité la colère d'Angela Merkel, qui évoquait une division de l'UE. Un projet qui se tient debout pour plus qu'une raison; mais que peut on dire quant à une éventuelle intégration de l'état hébreu au sein de l'UE ? Les pays qui ont boycotté, hier, la foire du livre à Paris seraient elles prêtes à appartenir à un même espace économique et culturel auquel appartient l'état hébreu ? Jusqu'où pourra aller la politique d'improvisation (déjà très mal digéré par Angela Merckel) que pratique Nicolas Sarkozy ?

Medvedev has been elected President
Red Square is one of the world's most dramatic locations, and Russia's two most powerful men enjoyed the taste of victory, as they met their supporters. Dimitry Medvedev has taken up the reins from his patron, former President Vladimir Putin. He has won the backing of more than 70 percent of the electorate; an overwhelming, crushing figure, but just slightly less than Putin enjoyed four years ago. Thousands of supporters gave them a heroes' welcome.
Mr Medvedev, President Vladimir Putin's chosen successor, won 70.23% of the vote on Sunday, with nearly all votes counted, according to official results. "I think (my presidency) will be a direct continuation," he said, referring to Mr Putin's eight years in office. His nearest rival was Communist leader Gennady Zyuganov, with 17.76% of the vote. He vowed to go to court over alleged fraud, Itar-Tass news agency reports.
"We have the chance to continue the progress we have enjoyed in the last few years, to improve the quality of life, and follow the plan laid down for us," said Medvedev. "And I am convinced this is the right thing to do". "We will be able to preserve the course of President Putin," he added at a celebration in Moscow's Red Square. Former President Putin insisted the vote was free and fair: "The election of the president, the election of parliament, were both held in complete compliance with Russia's constitution and the law. I congratulate Dimitry Anatoleyvich Medvedev, and I wish him luck."
The Kremlin wanted a smooth handover, but also Western acceptance of Russian democracy.
The EU has congratulated Dimitry Medvedev, and Germany say they are looking forward to working with him. Britain said it would "judge the new [Russian] government on its actions", while French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said the EU and Russia had to start a new dialogue. In Washington, a White House spokesman said "the United States looks forward to working with him [Medvedev]" - but he avoided commenting on the election itself.
Putin is expected to become Russia's next Prime Minister, and few doubt he will be highly influential. But, the big question is how influential President Medvedev will be.
