Abstract
The Lisbon Treaty marks the end of more than 20 years of continuous treaty reform in the European Union. In spite of all the changes and innovations, the ‘Community model’ of European integration is still valid. The EU will not be able to move forward without a combination of ideals and interests like those that inspired the original Communities. The EU should aim to ensure that it functions as a permanent limit on national protectionism and excessive nationalism, but not try to replace the member states by developing its own state-like structures.
