Senior EU officials have just released a blueprint for another great leap forward in European integration, to be discussed by all 27 heads of state and government at this week’s summit meeting. Perhaps not surprisingly, this blueprint says little about the EU’s growing democratic deficit.

If there’s enough time to deliberate over technical aspects of economic governance, there’s enough time to beginning addressing the democratic deficit.
