Channeling EU structural funds towards innovation is essential, given that spending on research and development is alarmingly low compared to our global partners. Fundamental reform of the Common Agricultural Policy should not remain a taboo.

Today, the situation has changed in three important respects. EU farm policy has started to be reformed, and its share of the EU budget has fallen from over 60 to 40

In foreign and security policy, New Power, New Responsibility proposes strengthening the role of the EU High Representative and the role of the European Action Service. Current EU High Representative Catherine Ashton continues to prove the worth of EU foreign policy institutions by, for example, brokering a remarkable peace between Serbia and Kosovo and playing a key role in nuclear negotiations with Iran.

If the EU is divided on an issue lying at its geographic heart and at the heart of its interests its credibility as a foreign policy actor on matters beyond its borders will suffer dramatically. And only a united EU can bring Russia on board for a harmonized policy towards the Balkans.

For now, EU governments coordinated fiscal stimulus has deprived populists of their usual charge that the EU is indifferent to the fate of individuals. Even more policy coordination will be needed both to confront the crisis and to re establish EU norms once the storm clouds begin to dissipate.

A similar political signal is needed today to overcome EU member states resistance to decisions that advance a common foreign policy. Here, too, the sum needed would probably be rather small compared to the overall EU budget.

Relatively few activities and resources are devoted to policy advice, policy development, capacity building and pilot projects.

Policy advice, policy development, capacity building and piloting should be even more systematically implemented under country programmes.
