Kostas Papanastasiou, Greek soap actor on Germany's long-running "Lindenstrasse:" "The EU is an experiment, which still can't be described consistently, even 50 years after the Treaty of Rome. A non-typical European undertaking, Europe is known more for its conflicts. The next 50 years will have to show whether the divine idea that manifested itself in Rome, was a blessing or a curse. I hope very much that it’s the former."
