The results of the Amsterdam summit of June 1997 concerning the Common Foreign & Security Policy (CFSP) & the institutional reform of the European Union fall far short of the expectations held especially in Germany. The article discusses the results of the Intergovernmental Conference & analyzes systematically why again it was impossible to proceed beyond the strictly intergovernmental character of CFSP. Adapted from the source document.

Worldwide, large cities face pollution and traffic jams. Amsterdam is an example for many when it comes to sustainability and mobility, because the bicycle has - literally - been given a lot of space. That dominant role has been attributed to the bicycle thanks to numerous campaign groups that protested against the increase of cars and for the bicycle from the seventies onwards. One went up the barricade for a better environment, the other for more safety, but together they convinced the city council and the parties started a fruitful cooperation.0Protesting and debating for 40 years has led to a prominent role for the bicycle in traffic. Fred Feddes and Marjolein de Lange look back and forward: how can Amsterdam prevent the bicycle from succumbing to its own success?00Exhibition: Stadsarchief, Amsterdam, The Netherlands (from 4.4.2019)
