Recommendation

In a new analysis for the Fondation Robert Schuman, former director general of the EU Council’s legal service Jean-Claude Piris examines how the EU can push back against Euroskepticism and restore Europe’s popularity. Alas, most of Piris’s analysis describes which options are no longer viable. In the end, he prescribes to the EU small steps, more clarity in its vision and straightforward responsibilities. While always politically neutral, getAbstract recommends this article to EU political junkies.

 

Take-Aways

  • The EU’s popularity is internally waning.
  • The EU needs to create a “clear image of the Union and of its future” both in terms of geography and political aspirations.
  • Delegating more power to the EU is not politically viable at the moment.
