This is the EUD vision of Europe:
It is high time for the Citizens' Agenda
What kind of Europe do you want? This is a basic question that was never asked to the people of Europe. Instead, the EU leaders presented their model as an "EU without alternative". Please read our vision of Europe, and if you like it - Join the network!
An EU of diversity and flexibility
We advocate an EU of diversity and flexibility, based on free cooperation among independent countries, who agree on some common standards and values. These could be summarized in a simple document, comprising about 50 articles.
Europe in the people's hearts
We believe that if citizens know and understand how Europe is developing, they are more likely to embrace the concept and become involved in it. A constructive, competitive debate concerning new ideas and concepts for a better EU will aid the cultivation of a European identity.
Many new ways of cooperation
In a reformed EU, new methods of cooperation will emerge, ideas will be broadly exchanged among the member states, and policies could be implemented selectively rather than uniformly.
A decentralised 'Europe of the Citizens'
In a decentralised 'Europe of the Citizens,' politics will focus on the 'Citizens Agenda'. Decisions will be made close to the people or even by the people themselves.
Transparency and democratic control
The EU’s activities will be utterly transparent and democratically controlled. Civil liberties, cultural diversity and a high degree of democracy on all levels would be considered important values and assets.
A new political conscience and greater accountability
A more democratic EU will impact positively on national democracies. Politicians who genuinely consider themselves responsible to their electorate will benefit from a new political conscience, making it worthwhile for everyone to get involved in politics.
A dynamics of prosperity, solidarity and life-quality
Europe can set an example of how flexible cooperation, cultural diversity and a common idea about Europe can bring about a new dynamic of prosperity, solidarity and better quality of life, not only on a material level.
