So, if you wish to ponder about European sovereignty and/or break through the united front of EU and EU member states with regard to sovereignty – understood as legislative capability – then the core issue is the abolition of the European Council and the re- evaluation of the sovereignty of Europe's women and men as political subjects by making the EU system, including the sepa- ration of powers,. [...] Then, in the early years of the new millennium, a rethinking of the whole European political system took place, with the adop- tion of a Charter of Fundamental Rights and the negotiation of a Constitutional Treaty. [...] COMPLETE THE EMU The aim of the new European governance must be to stabilise the eurozone by expanding the role of the ECB as lender of last resort and allowing the issue of eurobonds as well as by imple- menting country growth programs. [...] The project would consist of supplementing the structural funds (under Article 175 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU, TFEU) with a program to help the poorer countries close the most glaring poverty gaps. [...] With the Single 45 European Act, the social protocol in the Maastricht Treaty and, finally, the Lisbon Treaty, the EU was empowered to set minimum standards in all areas apart from those affecting paid work, the right of association, the right to strike and the right to impose lock-outs.
