So: "Also at the institutional level, the permacrisis is already changing the way the EU works. In particular, as the regular EU procedures tend to be very consensus-oriented and time-consuming, the need to react quickly to unforeseen problems has resulted in a gradual turn towards more informal decision-making, diluting accountability and shifting power away from supranational to intergovernmental institutions." But then weirdly enough he wants more power to the intergovernmental arrangement: "Among the many reform proposals, the extension of qualified majority voting in the Council has emerged as the most prominent, as it would help make the EU more democratic, more resilient, and more ready for enlargement." An odd understanding of democracy, accountability, and transparency. The Council fails miserably at the latter two, as has been frequently pointed out by the EU's Ombudsman and her investigations. Note also the buzzword of "resilience".
