    Abstract

    At the end of May, Europeans will elect a new Euro- pean Parliament and soon after a new European Commis- sion will begin its five-year mandate. The political chang- ing of the guard in the European Union (EU) comes at a time of economic recovery: per capita income has been growing by about two percent annually for the last three years, and growth has recently returned to every EU mem- ber state. Unemployment has been falling across the EU in the last year and now stands at an average of 6.7 per- cent – marking a new all-time low. It seems that Europe is doing well: the economic tide is rising and, for the first time since the outbreak of the global financial crisis in 2008, all boats are lifting.
