Abstract

[In daily life, anything can go wrong in discussions: Some discussions hardly get off the ground, others progress with the utmost difficulty and yet others are derailed even before an argument is put forward. During a now infamous meeting of the European Council of Ministers, the German Social Democrat Member of European Parliament (MEP) Martin Schulz suggested in a response to a speech by the Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi that the slow progress made by Italy on a number of pan-European judicial measures was indicative of the “virus of conflict of interests” spreading beyond the borders of Italy. Berlusconi replied: “Mr. Schulz, I know a producer in Italy who is making a film about Nazi concentration camps. I will suggest you for the role of a “kapo.” You would be perfect!” (European Parliament, sitting of 2 July 2003).]
