in the Past saw the future exciting. With this laconic summary peaks british The Guardian in its list of 50 songs on Europe with German syntbandet Kraftwerks ”Trans Europe Express” from 1977.

the United of the four freedoms. It was a future to look forward to.

the Song list includes the second world war, the trauma, the fall of the berlin absurdity, declarations of love to cities such as Vienna, Paris, and Amsterdam, and the curiosity of the national character traits – like blonde, healthy, wealthy swedes. Yet it is locktonerna from the future and then we can converge on the Champs-Élysées, nattsudda in Vienna and return to Düsseldorf, which, according to music writer Michael Hann best symbolizes Europe.

it’s easy to stick with. I remember when the year 1992 were etched into a magic European years in the future when the four freedoms – the free movement of goods, services, capital and people – would become a reality in the EC which Sweden belonged. United of the four freedoms. It was a future to look forward to.

Get the want to join the EU in order to follow the directive if the individual heat measurement in the housing, or to the EUROPEAN union subsidies tobacco growing, and prohibits snus.

It is a future that we yearn for. In all cases, in countries that are not members of the EU. And it is precisely to the freedoms that people crave, to the mobility and opportunities that come with them. Few people want to join the EU in order to follow the directive if the individual heat measurement in the housing, or to the EUROPEAN union subsidies tobacco growing, and to prohibit snus, or even to most of the countries have a common currency.

for Europe, the defining freedoms of the discussion surrounding the upcoming EUROPEAN elections. Europavännerna seems more interested in collecting power and EUROPEAN-level powers, and the nationalists seem to want to curtail the freedoms we have. The liberals want a tax at EU-level, the social democrats go to the polls in other countries to receive more refugees, and the Conservatives want to contribute a bit to the control of the external borders. Who are longing for the Europe of the future they want to build, they seem to barely know themselves.

Who are longing for the Europe of the future they want to build, they seem to barely know themselves.

at the same time, there are freedoms to yearn for. I yearn to be subject to the same movement of goods in Europe. I yearn for a global trade agreement that completely abolishing the customs duties on environmentally friendly goods and services and do not want to have to read again that the EU’s representatives made such a contract to prevent us buying cheap bikes from China. In the year 2025 won’t have the european taxpayers are subsidising the very dirtiest coal-fired power plants, but I yearn for the day when statssubventionerat coal is history.

a Europe that is more productive, dynamic and attractive than in the day. To build out mobility and freedom as in the past, an investment in such a future. Someone should write its soundtrack.
