If the EU made the most of the competencies that it already has, and governed more effectively, the Union as a whole could achieve faster economic growth for at least the next decade, with a 2.5% annual rate not out of reach. More generous support for countries in trouble is essential, because the euro must be preserved (albeit not necessarily on the base of a larger eurozone).
如果欧盟能完全发挥现有的能力，并能更有效地进行管理，那么未来的至少十年整个联盟的经济就会得到更快的发展，2.5%的年增长率也将不再遥不可及。为处于困境的国家提供更慷慨的援助是必不可少的重要事项，这是因为必须要保留欧元（虽然这未必是以庞大的欧元区为基础）。
