EU Reform: Deciphering the fuzziness

Two streams of thinking stand out: the reality that further integration is not a priority; and second, the fact that some policies may be incomplete if they are not complemented with missing pillars, especially within the EMU.

Can we, or even should we, envisage other modes of integration, perhaps rooted in deeper integration of the Eurozone? If further integration is required within the EU, what needs to be done to make it acceptable to public opinions across Europe? Can we manage different levels of integration without leading to an unsustainable fragmentation of the Union?

Those questions have received far too little attention compared to their likely salience in European debates in the years ahead and more decisively to their importance for the future of the EU.
