Towards a Pan-European Union

The EU should radically overhaul its internal architecture to accommodate the widespread frustration of citizens. This requires full acceptance of what the EU calls subsidiarity, which means ensuring that decisions are made at the lowest possible level, even within Member States. Second and more fundamentally, the EU should embrace the mechanisms of “multispeed Europe.” In the spirit of thinking big, the case can be made for the EU to become a pan-European union that encompasses all of the continent’s sovereign countries.
