There are a fair number of passerelle clauses in the treaty. So on policy, there is some room to move ahead.

Still, in 10 years we will have to start drafting a new treaty.

Why do you think so?

This pseudo-constitution seems rather functional even for 40 countries.

Why do you think it would need another step closer to the full political union in 10 years?  What would malfunction?
