I believe that, however arduous it might prove, it is worth proceeding along the roadmap set out in the Report. But it might not be sufficient. I believe that more progress on the side of the political union should not come sequentially, at the very end of the process, but important elements should be considered right away.
In other terms, more action at the economic and financial level needs to be accompanied by parallel action also at the institutional and intrinsically political level: for example, on the legal side (from company and bankruptcy laws, to more basic rights and principles); on solidarity and welfare; on defence and security; on the timing of elections, and so on.
