No problem! Just write to the university, pay a little fee and take the next train. But what to do if you come from Russia and want to study in Germany? Read the true story of a 23 year old student of computersciences from Moskva: This is the way I came to Germany: There are some things never meant to go together. These are ordinary USSR nationality and foreign studies (Never say, that the USSR do not exist any more, because they do!). On the 20th of January 1992 I recieved the invitation from the university of Cologne to take part in a german language course. At that time I studied at the Moscow Power Engineering Institute (MPEI) and immediately I asked the officials of our university to make the papers proper. The papers are: leaving permit, normally issued by the KGB, and a visa which is normally made by the German embassy. I contacted Mrs A, the chief of the department of international connections (DIC) of the MPEI. Mrs A said that I looked like leaving the USSR forever and that she doesn't want to help me. The things were running out of time and I failed to process the documents. I applied for the next term and at the 5th of July I recieved the notification of admission again. Experienced I went
directly to the OVIR, the towns office which was supposed to make my p apers ready. Mrs B, the chief of the OVIR said, that they only handle invitations, which were sent in a privat way, from one person to another person, and that I should go to the ministry of foreign affairs. Mr C from the ministry of foreign affairs said to me, that they only handle invitations sent from one organisation to another organisation. But the university of Cologne (organisation) invites me (personally) and there is no institution in the USSR authorized to handle this case. I had to return to the DIC of the MPEI. This time they said, that it'll take at least two month and the first thing I have to bring is a paper from the KGB which says, that I never worked on secret projects. Mr D at the KGB said that they do not issue such papers and the only thing they can do is to say that somebody worked on a secret project. By lucky chance I got an advice from the former MPEI's KOMOMSOL leaders who now deal with international student exchange. They directed me to newspapers in which I found several offers to process papers for foreign trips. I asked about the documents I need and Mr E said that I need no passport, no KGB permit, no invitation from Cologne. Nothing. Only 100$ (quite a lot in Russia t.e.) Not more. No roubles, please! Mr E made my papers ready in one week- leaving permit, passport, visa from the German embassy, all I needed. And so I came to the international airport in Moskva the 4th of September 1992 with a ticket to Düsseldorf in my pocket, and I was glad when the plane landed the 5th of September in Frankfurt. This is a true story. Unfortunately after three months Gregorij had to return to Moskva, because his tourist-visa had expired and it is impossible to make a tourist visa valid longer than three months. We have seen him last time in January, ready to leave to Moscow and to come back two weeks later, but probably we won't see him any more in Germany. <strong>OneEurope</strong> Lexicon One of the most frequently words used in discussions about different organisation forms of Europe is the expression INTEGRATION. But what does integration actually mean ? The following rubric intends to clear up the sense and significance of this and similiar important words now and in next editions. (The explanations below were taken from the book "Europe 2000" published by Omnia edition house) Integration The joining together of European states within the EC is commonly referred to as integration - a complicated word for a meaningful event. Usually integration stands for establishing a unity out of different pieces. [...] Sovereign states (nation-states) can associate themselves on the basis of international law in different ways: for example through a contractual co-operation in the political area where common interests are to be put forward (e.g. in the cultural field or in supporting the economy). Such an international co-operation underlies the work of the European Council, while a similar example is represented by the EFTA. Although the states are collaborating they still maintain their unlimited national sovereignty; that complies with the common belief that a nations sovereignty is indivisible and must remain untouched. Exactly this view is overcome in the integration of the EC states. Up to now integration is an unique form of international union in which national sovereign powers are being abandoned or restricted; they are transferred to newly created supranational ("integrated") institutions. Integration can, but must not lead to nation-states losing their entire sovereignty, dissolving completely and establishing a larger state together. page 4 -------------------------------------------------
