"National icons and household names such as Da Vinci, Chopin and Shakespeare
provide strong bonds between many European countries.  This cultural diversity
represents a huge asset that all adds up to an essential part of Europe's identity
and values." - Our letter published in the International Herald Tribune (2004).
