The best way of addressing this is to make sure that decisions are taken as close as possible to the citizens. We should question any attempt to sideline the regions in this process. The citizen needs to be centre stage. We should approach the question as a series of overlapping and interlinking spheres of responsibility, where each level is equally important. Through a discussion of equals we can address the issues.
Subsidiarity needs to go further than the capital cities.
More autonomy for regions should be part of any process for a federated Europe.
