Summary - Europe will get approval only if citizens see it as an institution which has subsidiary functions towards States and regions. In front of a progressive weakening of the sense of belonging and in front of clear phenomena of strong local and regional identification, it is necessary that States and European institutions provide for the active participation of legislative regions to the process of the building of Europe. If not, Europe will be perceived only as a technocratic body missing its own political role.
