Why we need a Convention to reform the Treaties?

Why we need a Convention to change the Treaties?

This is part 3 of a series on EU reform, where the European Parliament has set the stage for a potential seismic shift towards a more federalized European Union.

This initiative calls for a comprehensive reshaping of EU institutions, exemplified by changes to the presidential election process and the veto vote mechanism. It also advocates for expanding EU competencies, granting the Union greater exclusive powers that may redefine the balance between EU governance and national sovereignty. Finally, it proposes a robust enforcement of EU authority by amending the consensus requirement of Article 7, thus streamlining the Union's ability to act decisively. This compact yet potent set of reforms could mark a pivotal point in the evolution of the EU's political dynamics.
