The “multi-speed Europe”

a reality, solution and to discontent of some – a necessity

Abstract

The 1990s are the years that bring about a possible differentiated integration. The new waves of EU membership put European decision-makers in the position of thinking about future integration efforts. Those who can do more and want this will not be able to wait for those who still have to solve nuances of social and economic references. The multi-speed Europe already exists but the domains will multiply, besides the “Euro zone” and “Schengen”. “The multi-speed Europe” represents a necessity of evolution, it can even represent a solution to European problems, although it may also deepen existing discrepancies.
