Key points

  • The proposal calls for a major overhaul of EU decision-making, moving away from the requirement of total agreement (unanimity) toward more efficient voting systems.
  • The European Commission would be renamed the 'European Executive' and its role in nominating leadership would be reversed to reflect election results.
  • The creation of a formal Defence Union with its own military units and dedicated budget is proposed to enhance security.
  • New legal obligations would be added to protect the environment, biodiversity, and the 'One Health' approach.
