Publication - Klaus Regling, ESM Managing Director  - "What comes after the Euro Summit? The role of the ESM in a deepened monetary union "  -  Representation of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia to the EU  - Brussels, 29 January 2019

Already as a chancellor, Adenauer supported European integration.
