Talk of a Three-Tier European Union Gains Ground

Original: IT’S HAPPENING! A 3-Tier EU Is Taking Shape

Discussion is growing around the idea that the European Union is splitting into three distinct tiers of membership, with countries at different levels of integration in areas like the euro, defence and Schengen. Commentators argue the EU is informally reorganising into a core group, a middle tier of standard members, and an outer group of associates or candidate countries, raising questions about unity and the future of enlargement.

Why now: Ongoing debates about differentiated integration, enlargement and reform of EU institutions are renewing speculation that Europe is dividing into tiers.
