Public Support for the European Union: Building Trust

In its advisory report ‘Public Support for the European Union: Building Trust’, the AIV argues that in order to end the current crisis of confidence in Europe, Dutch politicians should convey an unequivocal and consistent vision of the future of European cooperation. The AIV believes that public trust can be restored through a multi-track approach. First, the EU’s democratic character needs to be strengthened. Second, the debate on Europe at both national and EU level needs to be politicised.
