What competences should the EU have?

What competences should the EU have?

Let's look at it from two perspectives, a pragmatic perspective and a democratic perspective.

• Migration

Internal solidarity strengthens our possibility to do more at the right place at the right time for those who seek a safe harbour in Europe. 

Effectiveness and cost efficiency demands a common migration authority.

• Border authority's such as customs, and coust guard. 

Once again it's all about effectiveness and cost efficiency. 

• Defens

28 independent armed forces is very costly and ineffective. Talk about wasting tax money for no good. 

• Pan-European police force against organised crime 

Organized crime is a threat to our values and to our open democracy and its not limited by borders.

• Foreign policy  

It's about Europe's credibility and diplomatic strength. 

• Guarantee for democracy, rule of law and human rights for all Europeans

Europe by and for its citizens. 

Only a European constitution and Suprem cort can grant every Citizen equal rights. 

• The inner market (the four freedoms)

The inner market needs central control and management. 

• Minimum environmental standard

The environment is a global problem and a global asset. We must have a European minimum standard on every environmental policy. The world also needs a strong European voice in the fight against climate change. 

• Minimum standards on other areas

when demanded by the inner market or from a citizen perspective.
