"The EU is not only under pressure from sovereign debts and a crisis of confidence. The Union is at a crossroads where it needs to choose between going further down the path of integration and pulling back. We are at a crucial juncture when we must decide whether we are going to continue the European project involving economic integration, expansion of the single market and consolidation of EMU or whether we are going to allow the creation of a single Europe to be scuppered in a quagmire of populism, extremism and isolationism.
The crisis the EU is going through requires a European solution, not a sum of national responses. It is not enough for us to take note of and reiterate this point. A solution needs to be implemented as a supportive European response. We need to put these measures into action immediately and set up the European institutions proposed by the European economic governance package. However, we also need a European government, at euro area level to begin with.
Last but not least, we need a European Parliament with extended powers to manage the process of deepening European integration as the ongoing transfer of sovereignty must be guaranteed by a single European institution elected directly by the EU’s 500 million citizens. This will ensure that Europe’s citizens are the real winners from the process of deepening European integration."@en1
