Sustainable European integration: EU for the 21st Century

Our contribution for the 2016 Prague European Summit. Available here for download.

“We have demonstrated that further integration in the area of what we call here core state powers might be possible, but certainly not symmetrically among all the Member States at the same pace. Moreover, we might expect demands for opt-outs or even debates about leaving the EU altogether. It seems that the ideal of an ever closer union is no longer a unifying and sufficiently attractive narrative across the continent. Quite the contrary, the federalist rhetoric generates more antagonism against the EU than any time before.”
