Three options – Federal Alliance of European Federalists

От какво се нуждае Европа

The EU has three options:

Обратно към вестфалската национална държава
Запазване на ЕС в сегашния му вид: междуправителствена администрация въз основа на договор
Създаване на Съединени европейски щати въз основа на федерална конституция. Това е, от което се нуждае Европа.

Обратно към вестфалската национална държава

This is an out-dated, retarded form of sovereignty
Closed borders, deterring immigration
Anarchy between nation-states. Anarchy in the sense of the absence of cross-border administration, causing conflicts and wars
Inevitable wars as in the 19^th and 20^th century
Shrinking of diversity and innovation
Shrinking of national economies through protectionism and isolationism

The intergovernmental administration destroys the sovereignty of the member states, forcing them to assimilate
Member states use the EU as a pigeonhole: in-out
No respect for, nor acceptance of the treaty-based duties
Vulnerable to external threats like economic crises, terrorism, climate change
No common policy with respect to cross border common interests and concerns like economy, social security, immigration, safety, energy/climate, defence, foreign affairs
No global power like the USA, China and Russia
