Draghi asks for more unit in EU

The EU countries should share sovereignty: it is the only way for men and women to make their voices heard in Europe in a global context; this is the key concept of the ECB Governor Mario Draghi, in a speech in Trento, where he received the Alcide De Gasperi prize, and he remember the need for the Old Continent will continue on the road to a stronger Union.

"National sovereignty – said Draghi – remains in many respects the key element of the government of each country. But for the challenges that transcend national boundaries the only way to preserve the sovereignty, is to make their voices heard in a global context, it is for us Europeans to share sovereignty within the European Union, which has functioned as a multiplier of our national strength ".

In his interposal, the number one Eurotower stressed that the European Union is "robust and that its core values will remain the base." "But he pointed out that" the integration process needs to be guided to outcomes that they are more efficient and more directly targeted to the people, their needs and their fears, and be less focused on institution building. The European institutions – claims – are not accepted by the people itself, but only if they are necessary tools to provide these results. "

Among European citizens, said the governor, "there is a growing dissatisfaction with the European project" which led for example the British to vote in favor of Brexit.
