Big decisions await us this year. Not only on data protection, but also on the very future of the European Union. 2014 will be the year citizens will have a momentous choice to make. Europe is at a cross-roads, and at the European Parliament elections in May, they will decide which course it will take in the coming years.
The brutal crisis we are starting to overcome has pushed integration in economic and financial policy to a level that would have been unthinkable even a few years ago. Reforms like these are indispensable if we are to make the European Union more stable and prevent future turbulences. But they are not enough. Our Union will have to become a lot more democratic, putting citizens at the centre of the action.
Huge changes lie ahead for our Union. We will need to get a broad, truly European debate going before we make these changes and set up new structures. And this year's European Parliament elections are the decisive moment for citizens to have their say in this debate. It will be up to us, the friends of a strong and democratic Europe, to make clear to voters that they have a real choice here. That their vote counts.

– Vi behöver en riktig politisk union. För mig innebär det att vi måste bygga ett Europas Förenta Stater med kommissionen som regering och två lagstiftande församlingar – Europaparlamentet och en ”senat” med medlemsstaterna, sade Reding.
- Vad tycker Ni om förslaget?
- Förväntade Ni er att detta förslag skulle komma fram?
- Ser Ni likheter mellan Sovjet och EU union?
- Övriga tankar?
