At the same time, however, the prestige of the European institutions has sunk to a new low in the eyes of the public, beset as they are between a lack of confidence on the one hand and the pressure generated by a growing number of problems on the other; by way of example, I need only name three of the most pressing problems at the present time – the oil crisis, climate change and BSE.
Parallèlement, l'image de ces institutions européennes est au plus bas parmi la population - manque de confiance d'une part, pression accrue due aux problèmes d'autre part. Pour n'en citer que quelques-uns : crise pétrolière, changement climatique, crise de l'ESB.
