How should Europe be represented at international bodies?

While the current structure and membership of the G20 can be regarded as a transitional arrangement to bridge the G8 and a new permanent G20, it is a bit unfair to have so many European representatives from both its individual member countries and from its unity bodies.

Europe should be represented either as a group or as individual countries, but not by both. It is up to them to decide how they would like to be represented.

While others are polite enough not to raise this issue openly and directly with the Europeans, they should have self awareness and be wise enough not to be unreasonable in their representation at the G20.

They should act without the urge of others. The earlier they do that, the better for both them and the rest.
