The danger of paralysis

Paralysis is the key hazard the EU faces as we start the political rentrée. The leaders must respond to this threat by showing a renewed commitment to the common European ambition. They should stop putting all the blame on the EU institutions. And they should explain to their respective citizens that the EU matters and should be strengthened.

Angela Merkel is somehow doing it on her own initiative. But she cannot be alone in such an endeavour.
