In parallel to negotiations for an institutional reform, aiming to keep the best reforms included in the European Union Constitution project, it sets out proposals for a new Single Act based on co-operation and participation. Its goal is to ensure that the EU is better able to meet challenges posed by globalization.
The Single Act will be underpinned by three key projects: sustainable development, a knowledge society, and the full employment of human potential. It is a collective commitment with a precise agenda encompassing a method, objectives and tools. Whereas coordination between Member States is to day extremely weak, it bounds them to cooperate, increases the role of Community institutions, and calls for the mobilisation of civil societies.
Confrontations Europe wishes this proposal, available on the Internet , to be the object of a wide-ranging debate so that it may be improved and used as a lever for action.
