In connection with the ‘Pierre Werner and Europe' research project, the CVCE and the European Merit Foundation are organising a conference entitled ‘EMU at the crossroads', to be held on 6 March 2013 in Luxembourg City.

At this event, the CVCE will officially present its research corpus entitled ‘A rereading of the Werner Report of 8 October 1970 in the light of the Pierre Werner family archives'.

This presentation will be followed by lectures given by Jean-Claude Trichet, Honorary Governor of the Banque de France and former President of the European Central Bank, and Jean-Claude Juncker, Prime Minister of Luxembourg and outgoing President of the Eurogroup, on the crisis facing Economic and Monetary Union and possible future scenarios.

A ceremony will then be held to award the Collar of European Merit to Jean-Claude Trichet for his work in favour of European monetary integration. After the laudatio given by Jean-Claude Juncker, Jacques Santer, Honorary Minister of State, former President of the European Commission and President of the European Merit Foundation, will present the Collar to the former President of the European Central Bank.
