What's the French for 'ever closer union'?

Gordon Brown havers over support for the 'British' motor manufacturers for fear of what Brussels may say about it. Frau Merkel, worried about the creation of impossible competitive conditions for German car companies, glares blackly across the Atlantic at the new American government lest they make similar moves over there.

Meanwhile, in France, the communautaire spirit in the soul of the nation which dreamt up the EU and presses us all constantly for 'ever closer union' asserts itself in the traditional manner.

Viva la France, I say.
