This report analyses how the 28 member states of the European Union understand “EU reform” and provides an insight into how their views might play out in debates on the future of the EU as well as on day-to-day politics. Three inter-linked areas are studied: the role of national parliaments in EU affairs, the appropriate EU regulatory framework and the question of integration. The three relate to the issue of subsidiarity and control over the future of the EU. This report sheds some light on the positions of EU governments on those issues.

The picture of European defence cooperation is quite kaleidoscopic with a mix of bilateral, minilateral and multilateral efforts. Building on recent insights in the literature on multilateralism, the article shows that this mix stems from the fact that defence cooperation generates both high transaction costs and high 'member surplus'. In other words, multilateral cooperation does not always offer the best venue to reconcile diverging preferences, ambitions, and capacities. It means that multilateral defence cooperation within the EU or NATO is bound to remain rather superficial, while the bulk of stronger defence cooperation is likely to take place at bi-and minilateral level. This insight questions the recurrent lack of appreciation for those formats, which are unlikely to be a passing phenomenon.
