    Abstract

    > In the framework of Enhanced Cooperation in the EU less than a handful of policy projects have been realised so far. > Procedural and substantive bottlenecks in the relevant Treaty provisions streamline the framework’s application towards special legislative procedure in the area of Justice and Home Affairs. > The framework can substantially be improved by: > changing the incentive structure that Enhanced Cooperation is embedded in; > reducing the complexity in the realm of ‘subgroup integration’ in the EU (especially by integrating PESCO into the Enhanced Cooperation framework); > strengthening the role of the European Parliament in the respective procedures.
