EU Response to a Changing World Order: A 9-Point Action Plan
INSTITUTIONAL RESILIENCE
01 United Decisions. Trigger Art. 7 to stop Viktor Orbán’s veto and empower the Hungarian opposition. If blocked, establish a European Union 2.0.
02 EU Foreign Minister. Empower Kaja Kallas to negotiate foreign policy and impose sanctions on behalf of countries via an intergovernmental accord.
03 Treaty Change Now. Conduct a targeted revision of the treaties to add defense. Open a holistic Treaty Convention to prepare for enlargement.
MILITARY RESILIENCE
04 Debt for Defense. Issue EU debt for joint, multi-annual procurement, establish a European DARPA and specialized regional industrial clusters.
05 Victory for Ukraine. Use the EUR 200bn+ of frozen Russian assets for Ukrainian defense and prepare European security guarantees i.e., sky shield and boots on the ground.
06 European Army. Develop an independent European Command and Control Center, create European strategic enablers, and build the legal basis for a European military force.
ECONOMIC RESILIENCE
07 Radical Harmonization. Remove barriers for companies to scale within the EU via a fast-track review of relevant laws and wide use of the 28th regime.
08 Compact of the Willing. Strengthen trade, technology and defense cooperation via a formalized coalition with like-minded partners such as UK, Norway, Canada, and Japan.
09 European Tech Stack. Invest in EU infrastructure in AI, data, and cloud storage. Ring-fence debates and elections via enhanced and enforced social media regulation.
