EU treaty splits French students
As French students prepare for their final exams, they
are hotly debating the marks they will be giving to the
proposed European constitution in this month's
referendum.
Under a tree on the campus of Nantes University, in
western France, members of the country's main student
union, Unef, are engaged in deep discussion.
All believe in European integration and are clamouring
for more exchange programmes giving young people from
across the EU opportunities to study abroad.
Nicolas Quinqueneau, studying to become a sports teacher,
notes that the constitution has little or nothing to say
on this matter.
"There are no European-wide institutions dealing with
university education," he complains, saying this is a
major reason why he will vote No.

Economic
powerhouse
Some 13 million people were eligible to vote in Germany's
most industrialised state. North Rhine-Westphalia includes the Ruhr Valley, known for
its coal and steel production.
Its economy and population are bigger than many European
countries, and its GDP is higher than that of Brazil or
Russia.
But, of Germany's five million unemployed, more than one
million live in North Rhine-Westphalia. For nearly four
decades, the Social Democrats have ruled there, benefiting
from the solid working-class electorate.
