Abstract

Two oft-forgotten elements contribute however to improving the quality of democracy in the European Union, increasing in turn the legitimacy of the integration process before the citizens. On the one hand, accountability represents a legitimacy factor for the European project as long as there is a «cloud accountability» in which every actor becomes both controller and controlled. On the other hand, proper ways to communicate Europe to the citizen become a primary legitimacy resource, for they heighten credibility on a functioning system and broaden in turn the sense of European belonging.
