Sweeping changes to the treaties which bind the EU together will create a \u201ccentralised, hegemonic superstate\u201d in which sovereign nations are mere \u201cvassals\u201d, the European Conservatives and Reformists Group in the European Parliament has claimed.<\/p>\n

A report comprising draft changes to the EU Treaties in Article 48 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU) was endorsed by MEPs last month, with 19 votes for, six against and one abstention.<\/p>\n

The text, proposed by arch-Brexit critic Guy Verhofstadt (Renew), along with Sven Simon (European People\u2019s Party), Gabriele Bischoff (Socialists and Democrats), Daniel Freund (Greens\u2013European Free Alliance) and Helmut Scholz (The Left) is the result of discussions which took place during the Conference on the Future of Europe, which concluded in May 2022.<\/p>\n

Proposals include strengthening the role of the European Parliament, and the establishment of a Defence Union and an Energy Union.<\/p>\n

Jacek Saryusz-Wolski, an MEP for Poland\u2019s Law and Justice Party, was speaking at a press conference in advance of tomorrow\u2019s European Parliamentary plenary in Strasbourg, which is expected to ratify the report, bringing it one stage closer to becoming a reality.<\/p>\n

Guy Verhofstadt calls for EU reforms<\/h3>\n

He said: \u201cWe are against hijacking Europe by this anti-democratic anti-federal project to turn the EU as we know into superstate.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe purpose of this report is was is the article 48 procedure which will be triggered with this report, which we expect to be voted for tomorrow, with us being against.\u201d<\/p>\n

There are 267 changes to the treaties being proposed, Mr Saryusz-Wolski pointed out.<\/p>\n

One of the conference\u2019s six co-rapporteurs until July 2023, Mr Mr Saryusz-Wolski withdrew in July in protest at what he saw as the refusal of the other five to take on board any of the proposals presented by his group, he explained.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He continued:\u201dThose changes are revolutionary and mark a revolution in terms of the ecosystem of the Union.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is also irreversible in terms of once new treaties come into force, this is practically impossible to change.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd it leads to turning sovereign member states into vassals or into regions and creating a centralised, hegemonic superstate run by mainstream oligarchy and escaping democratic control.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause it moves the decision making process from the level where democracy works, which is nation-state, to the democracy where there is a huge democratic deficit, which is European level.\u201d<\/p>\n
