Former Minister for European Affairs and presently European parliamentarian (EDF), Alain Lamassoure launched in the "Le Figaro" of 12 October "Three ideas for Biarritz". Below is the main detail of the article,:

1. European Commission. The debate started badly because "the true problem does not lie in the inconveniences of number, but in those of the make-up, an executive body or each Member State will have to have a representative, (solution, which they are moving towards) would double-up with the Council of Minister. Each would be better off recounting the members of its own government (between thirty and one hundred) before criticising the number of European Commissioners". To answer the concern of small countries, which sees in the nomination of a Commissioner "the guarantee of their vote would be heard in the heart of the Community machine". Alain Lamassoure suggest rather to reform the system of the Council Presidency, by replacing "the single Presidency, only fleetingly, by the multiple Presidencies, simultaneous and long", where the Finance Council would be Presided by one country, the General Affairs Council by another and so on.

2. Voting rights of States in Council". "The problem is bad". In asking itself if it is "shocking" that the small" countries weigh in Council "nearly as much" as the "large", he answers: "No, on condition of ensuring that the decisions taken, when they concern "the citizen, are also approved by the European Parliament which, it, represents the peoples proportionally to the population: thus we get this double legitimacy, which characterises the federal systems".

3. Extension of qualified majority. The "black list" of questions decided through unanimity "should remain too long". Thus, he said, "the formula of a European public limited company so could see the day between fourteen countries, so resolving 90% of the problem, and even probably 100%, because the fifteenth would be forced, soon enough to rally to it, unless it was prepared to appear shamefully retrograde".
