It is great news that mr. Macron also understands that sovereignty of the member states must the basis of EU cooperation. The EU must not become a Federation but a strong Confederation.

We do not need great marches for Europe. We need to improve or repair the existing institutions.

Balanced cooperation among the many, very diverse, EU members has to be further improved. Cooperation based on mutual respect. Aimed at developing synergy and practical solutions and less on maintaining dogma's.

Teamwork has to be developed. Enhance the teaching of European history and the English language could be practical measures.



- To make the EU better manageable and more democratic we need clearity at the top. We need a small EU management team, comprised of members of the EU council ( Germany, France, ca. 3 others ). We do not need a German-French axis anymore.

- Democratic functions have to improved. The Euro parliament should have only members which are also members of the National Parliaments. It should also have more control over the EU commission.

- The Euro Commission must become a EU Service Center instead of an EU operational government. Their task is to support the EU council.

- The primary task of the EU is to protect: itself as an organization, its people, its economy and its culture.

For defense we have NATO. If there is a requirement for EU defense functions, it has to be developed within the NATO framework. The relation with Russia needs to be normalized.

The greatest danger the EU faces is the population explosions in Africa, the Middle East and others.

The population in the developing world grows by 80 million per year. The world has already 65 million registered refugees.

The EU leaders have to realize that this is a development which is fully beyond the control of the EU.

These people: inadequate education, no languages, cultures which are incompatible to European cultures.

The integration of non-western immigrant in the West cost ca. Euro 100,000.- per person.

The EU badly needs immigration laws which primarily seek to protect the EU, the people, the culture. An new asylum procedure needs to be developed.

All illegal immigrants arriving at the border are directly transported to refugee camps outside the EU.

Each EU member determines how many immigrants it wishes to accept.

Immigrants are required to integrate in the member state.

- The Euro has design failures. These must be corrected, without making the Eurozone a Transfer Union. The member states that finance the Eurozone ( ca. 8 out of 19 ) need full control over the expenses. Some members may wish to leave the Eurozone.

- For the poor EU countries specific development programs have to be set up.
