European crises would also have to be managed in a more transparent way, involving the European Parliament more closely. Protectionist and populist movements are gaining support among voters in Europe. How should we respond to this frustration? Europe was a great success when it came to building the single market and the euro, and welcoming the former Communist countries.
But it was unable to help workers facing globalisation and technological change. We need to take advantage of the return of growth to create a space for European rules which foster the mobility of employees, protect their rights and enable them to be educated and trained across Europe.
