” “"Public opinion must be reassured on the merits and effectiveness of the building of Europe", so that "the citizens will commit themselves to the common good that it pursues. The Union needs a sustainable economic governance and social solidarity system, suitable for the 21st century. We cannot pretend globalisation does not exist"; it must be "regulated so as to be able to harness its great potentials and create wealth to the benefit of everyone", and "the EU is a means to such end". These are some of the priorities for the future of the EU that have been written in the Report of the Sages, "A Europe of values. The ethical dimension of the European Union". Climate, energy and the environment, reads on the text, "demand immediate attention". Another priority is "security", which "implies the promotion of development and the fight against poverty, as well as the fight against crime and international terrorism, a response to the problem of mass migration and, as the Union did, the promotion of international law". Challenges that, highlight the Sages, "cannot be faced by one country alone", but demand "global solutions" "across Europe". (to be continued)” “
