Group 2. NEXT GENERATION EU AND OVERCOMING THE HAMILTONIAN MOMENT OF THE EU

The unprecedented decision to ask the European Commission to directly borrow money on behalf of its 27 member states to finance a €750 billion recovery plan (the Next Generation EU) was rightly hailed as the ‘Hamiltonian’ moment in the history of European integration. But this, if not backed by permanent measures, risks having been in vain.
