Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul Calls for Fundamental Reform of EU Decision-Making Processes

In a keynote speech at the Adenauer Foundation, Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul proposed a fundamental reform of the European Union's decision-making processes. Wadephul emphasized that a group of states within the EU should take the lead in order to facilitate more efficient and quicker decision-making. He argued that the current processes are often too lengthy and bureaucratic, and that a 'Core Europe' is necessary to better address future challenges.

Wadephul pointed out that the reform would not only benefit the participating states but also the entire EU. He called for strengthening cooperation and solidarity within the EU to ensure a capable community. The Foreign Minister sees the reform as an opportunity to modernize the EU and adapt it to current geopolitical realities.
