The Council should be open, so that the EU would be more transparent.



More power to the EP, so that the interest for the Parliament will grow bigger, because it actually have something to say in the political and legislative procedure.

A EU President should be elected by the Parliament and he should have the right to appoint the Commission among candidates provided by the member states.
