 <http://www.cafebabel.com/en/article.asp?T=T&Id=2402> Arm Wrestling with
the Member States

strong enough to face up to the pressures of the 25 member states?

predecessor.
                 Nicola Dell'Arciprete - Den Haag

 <http://www.cafebabel.com/en/article.asp?T=A&Id=916> Incoming Commission

bring in the balance of power?
                 Zane Bandere - Riga
