Summary/Abstract: The new German government has so far kept its distance from the bold plans of European reform proposed by the president of France. This is due to the fear of deepening divisions between the Member States and further splitting the EU, the intention to thin French ideas regarding the euro area, as well as the internal political situation. In addition, Germany has its own idea for a less political and more flexible Union.
