Summary |
Annotation Flexibility is emerging as a key dynamic of European integration. In the past derogations from certain policies have been granted to member states with special difficulties, but were always supposed to be temporary. Since the Treaty of Maastricht however a principle of permanent opt-outs from major policies has been established. Such opt-outs can be secured through deliberate choice, rather than incapacity. They are becoming more common. This shift towards flexibility has major implications. The EU will have to cope with more complexity and probably less transparency. It also affects the way in which European integration is viewed since it makes a state-like outcome to the process far less likely. |
