Paragraph 3
3. Stresses that the Union needs to restore the lost confidence and trust of its citizens by enhancing the transparency of its institutions and decision-making, and improving its capacity to act; notes, in this context, the difficulties experienced by the Council in applying the measures agreed on within that body in order to face the challenges that we need to tackle, which is undermining the European Union’s credibility and capacity to act;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 12
Paragraph 12
12.
