Abstract

Donald Tusk, President of the European Council, has called an informal meeting of EU 27 on 23 February to discuss the EU's institutions. This will be the first time since 2014 that the leaders dedicate a whole session to constitutional questions. It is their opportunity to assess the damage that Brexit has done to the political mission of the Union, and to prepare for some important decisions later in the year about the future of the European Parliament, the Commission and EU finances. Emmanuel Macron wants to promote "une Europe souveraine" and has made a number of proposals to this end.
