The following article discusses how the New Treaty ( constitution) will impact Europe in the areas of Security and Defense and Trade ( commerce).
It warns of an estrangement between Europe and the US --  which is to be avoided at all costs -- 
since The West is a far more formidable power than the EU or US by itself.

As one ponders a solution, it appears that the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Policy, Defense and Security must be a man who can "bridge the pond" .. a person of double-loyalties.

Our Lord Jesus tells us:
"No man can serve two masters.  For either he will hate the one and love the other,
or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other." Matthew 6:24 and Luke 16:13

" A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways " James 1:8


The New EU Reform Treaty ( new Constitution ) -- July 6, 2007 -- by Sally McNamara
http://www.heritage.org/Research/Europe/wm1536.cfm
"The Reform Treaty will shift power from nation-states to Brussels and fundamentally change the workings of the EU,
especially in important areas of public policymaking,
such as defense and energy, where the United States usually finds more traction on a bilateral basis.
In particular, the treaty's proposed foreign policy role for the EU poses a unique threat to the Anglo–American Special Relationship."
