Publisher Abstract The author finds the basis for such an order in the idea of the EU constituted by a ‘doubled’ sovereign—the European citizens and the European peoples (the States). In order to sustain such an order, reforms of the existing European treaties are needed. It is necessary to eliminate the legitimation deficits of the EU in a future Euro-Union—that is, a more closely integrated core Europe. The European Parliament would have to gain the right to take legislative initiatives, and the so-called ‘ordinary legislative procedure’, which requires the approval of both chambers, would have to be extended to all policy fields. |
