European politics are rather far-fetching
Overall, the proposals on European politics are rather far-fetching but at the
same time inconsistent.
While the coalition strives for a Europe of
competitiveness and investment it calls for a common framework for minimum
wages and basis national security benefits as well as minimum corporate tax
rate and the implementation of the financial transaction tax. While the coalition
commits to the inextricable link between risk and accountability some of the
proposals raise concerns over this principle being observed consequently.
The EU Commission and the EU President expects the European Council meeting in
June to take decisions on EA reforms – not much time left for the new
government to make up its mind and convince a broad majority of Mps of its
respective European policy course.
