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
Dear Minister Lienenkämper, Ladies and gentlemen,
I am pleased to speak at the representation of North Rhine-Westphalia.
Luxembourg and the ESM are closer to North Rhine-Westphalia than you might think. Only a few meters from the building of the ESM – right in the heart of the European quarter – is the "Boulevard Konrad Adenauer". The first Chancellor of Germany is probably the most known Rhinelander. In 1957, he was awarded the Luxembourg Grand Cross of the Order of the Oak Crown. Already as a chancellor, Adenauer supported European integration.
