Boy, what a turnaround monkey Sarko is: from today's Deutsche Welle:

"In his first fundamental foreignpolitical speech on Europe, France' president Sarkozy declared his support for a strong europe and offered to no longer block the negotiations for membership of Turkey with the EU."

He wants a new gremium introduced, a "club of sages", that should think about the future of europe instead.
Before elections, he said exactly the complete and total opposite: "Turkey is not europe, it does not belong to the european culture, is not compatible with european cultural standards, and shall have no seat in Europe". -
That is a full 180° turn, then.
Beside that, in the article he is quoted with referring to an increasing of the security council and seats for Germany, Brazil, Japan, a strengthening of the NATO by revitalizing it, and greater transparency and regulation of internaional financial markets (with regard to the mortage crisis in the US and the international turbulences that are projected to become even worse in 2008).
