A public memorial for the late German chancellor Helmut Kohl has been scheduled for the beginning of July at the European parliament in Strasbourg, France.
Kohl was a key player in the development of the European Union, although questions remain as to why there will be no state ceremony in Germany.
Ira Spitzer has more from Berlin.
