An EU architect writes: Time for a two-speed union

Commentary feature. The writer was Legal Counsel of the European Council. His next book is The Future of Europe. He suggests that the present EU set-up is no longer tenable. Trying to solve the problems within the current rules and with the participation of all member states appears impossible. Creating a temporary avant-garde group, which is already imposing itself, could stem the EU’s crisis.
