Reformy na jubileusz: Unia Europejska w 50. i 60. rocznicę podpisania traktatów rzymskich
EU Reform Proposals on the 50th and 60th Anniversaries of the Treaties of Rome

Summary/Abstract: Marking the 60th anniversary of the Treaties of Rome, which had laid the foundations for the European Union, 2017 was a time of political reflection on the future of the EU after Brexit. A decade earlier, after the crisis related to the Constitutional Treaty fiasco, the EU faced a similar challenge of structural reforms, which resulted in the adoption of the Treaty of Lisbon. The article compares the debate and proposals for EU reform presented on the 50th and 60th anniversaries of the Treaties of Rome. The author argues that while in 2007 EU members states made a step on the road to “ever closer Union,” in 2017 they were headed towards an “ever more differentiated Union.”
