Pre-Discussion
- What do you think should be the objective of European integration be?
- What is the best strategy to get there?
- How should we, the citizens, get involved?
People should feel more integrated and feel more involved in the decision-making process
within the European Union. See what they are really interested in and were they are
concerned of. A more democratic legitimacy will lead to more participation and interest in
the EU.
But in my opinion the EU should not become a federal organ, but more a center for inter-
governmental participation. So, participation between the governments, with them still
having a lot of power, and participation on subjects like safety, the euro, welfare etcetera.
