Impact on policies (Scenario 5, White Paper on the future of Europe)
Description
Single market & trade
Single market strengthened through harmonisation of standards and stronger enforcement; trade exclusively dealt with at EU level-
Economic & Monetary Union
Economic, financial and fiscal Union is achieved as envisioned in the report of the Five Presidents of June 2015.
Schengen, migration & security
As in “Doing less more efficiently”, cooperation on border management, asylum policies and counter-terrorism matters are systematic.
Foreign policy & defence
As in “Doing less more efficiently”, the EU speaks with one voice on all foreign policy issues; a European Defence.
EU budget
Significantly modernised and increased, backed up by own resources; a euro area fiscal stabilisation function is operational
Capacity to deliver
Decision-making is faster and enforcement is stronger across the board; questions of accountability arise for some who feel that the EU has taken too much power away from the Member States.
