Returns the idea of ​​two-speed Europe. Italians want the internal decision-making group within the EU – Policies

With the idea occurred Italian Foreign Minister, Paolo Gentiloni. In his opinion, the narrower the EU could find from 7 to 12 countries, which would combine the common currency, the Schengen Agreement and the common defense policy. For now, no one mention specific countries, but since two months ago at the session met the foreign ministers of Germany, France, the Netherlands, Italy, Belgium and Luxembourg, and most recently on the EU miniszczyt Italian Prime Minister invited the German Chancellor and French President, you can guess which country Italian minister had in mind.

the EU in its present form, according to Paolo Gentiloniego is very competitive and totally decisive. As a community of 28, and soon 27 countries, can not generate a common defense policy or immigration. It lacks consistency in operation for at itself marginalized. The recipe for a way out of the impasse, according to the Italians, would be less than the EU within this large. Minor Union would be easier to get along, decide something and take action.

The stagnation of the EU Italians have learned the way of problems with immigrants. Even before the latter arrived in such large numbers to the Community, Italy signaled the problem. They called for help and support to the Union’s external border. But as long as the immigration crisis has not affected most of the countries of the Community, the EU institutions were these appeals deaf. It was a critical situation launched decisions and actions.

Italy has long been firsthand experience impotence of the European Union. The head of the Italian diplomacy, exactly a year ago claimed that the Union must respond to the crisis of immigration and urgently remedied. He complained about the selfishness of countries whose crisis has not directly affected and trying to raise awareness that there is no guarantee that the problem, which today largely applies to Italy, Greece or Serbia for a while may start to apply also to other EU countries.

Italians do not like or economic policy of the EU. Premier Matteo Renzi said for months that Europe has a smaller increase because chose a wrong economic policy. Italians are of the opinion that it is not enough to stick to budgetary rigor, to stimulate the economy. They cite the example of the United States and argue that the flexibility of the budget and investment has allowed the Americans to leave straight. They do not want, however – as declare – to undermine the Union. But dreams of them the Community, which is a well-functioning mechanism.

He returns so the idea of ​​multi-speed Europe. Although today not called it that way. Instead, they talk about various circles of Europe. Narrower circle – internal, which would be more decision-making and wider circle – an EU-wide. Every time when there is a proposal of a narrowing or restriction of the European Union, which throws the margins of some countries, the answer is the argument about the lack of solidarity. Only if EU solidarity even still exist?
