Torsten Peters

This article begins by briefly summarising the current decision‐making system in the EU. It then approaches in a quantitative manner how a lowering of the qualified majority threshold in the Council of Ministers would increase EU decision‐making capacity. Finally, it proposes new decision‐making procedures which might be particularly well‐suited to overcoming EU indecision.
