A manifesto written by a dozen former heads of government and European Commissioners entitled 'A wake-up call for Europe' was published on 15 October 2001 and immediately sparked controversy in Brussels. The manifesto was criticised by diplomats as a 'pot pourri of ideas', most of which are old and some of which are inconsistent. The future of Europe will be discussed at an informal summit of EU leaders in Ghent on 19 October 2001.
