Abstract

This article shows how the political road of the EU implies, among some other issues, to develop the integration of European sub-regions (Nordic Council, Baltic Council, Visegràd, etc.) completing the overall integration process, and to incorporate fully the regions to the Union’s decision-making procedures; particularly, the handful of regions with their own national consciousness, wide legislative powers and political majorities different from the State’s ones. These developments are likely to play an important role for improving the effectiveness of the EU governance and its legitimacy.
