According to the President, the EU faces a lack political will rather than a shortage of instruments. The future of the EU will be ensured by responsibility for the decisions taken and their implementation, not by amending the treaties. This is the only way to deliver the best scenario for the future – secure and strong Europe.
Lithuania strictly opposes any amendments to the EU treaties as they contain all the instruments for close and efficient cooperation – we only need to use them effectively.
The President sees the Commission’s blueprint for Europe as an effort to spark off a debate on what the future of the EU should be like and on ways to attain it. However, before deciding on the best scenario, it is neccessary to explore thoroughly how the different models would actually work. Without specific details, the outlined paths are only theoretical reflections.
