We believe that genuine and meaningful steps can and should be taken towards giving people greater ownership of the European project through, for example, making the treaties simpler and more accessible or through making the principle of subsidiarity more effective in its application – without resort to gimmicks such as changing the name of the Union. On this latter point, while Giscard d'Estaing's draft makes four suggestions, I firmly believe that people are comfortable with the title European Union and that there is little support for change. There is certainly no support for it to be called the United States of Europe, with all that title conjures up.
