Interviews with newsmakers and personalities from across the globe. Katya Adler talks to Conservative MEP Richard Ashworth and to Guy Verhofstadt, former Belgian prime minister.

Europe's economic crisis has pushed its governments further and faster down the road of economic integration than many might have expected.

HARDtalk's Katya Adler goes to the heart of EU business, Brussels, to the European Parliament to talk to British Conservative MEP Richard Ashworth and to Guy Verhofstadt, former Belgian Prime Minister, now the leader of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe.
