What we need now is a Treaty of the World not a Treaty of Rome.
Meaning of the quote
Bernie Ecclestone, an English businessman, is saying that we need an agreement that includes the whole world, not just one region like Europe. He believes that a global agreement, or "Treaty of the World," is more important than an agreement just for a specific area, like the "Treaty of Rome" that established the European Union. Ecclestone thinks we need to work together as a global community, not just focus on one part of the world.
