Recital 4 i (new)
(4i) The European Union derives its legitimacy from the democratic values it projects, the aims it pursues and the powers and instruments it possesses. Deepening European economic integration and insuring the stability of the euro area, and of the Union as a whole, will require further changes regarding the external representation of the euro area, qualified majority voting on issues concerning corporate tax and the combating of tax evasion, mutual issuance of sovereign debt and euro bonds, the EU's borrowing capacity, better equilibrium between economic and social policies, own resources for the EU budget, and the role of national parliaments and of the European Parliament. Besides the Treaty changes relating to the stability mechanism, these connecting items should be dealt with by means of a Convention as provided for by Article 48(3) of the Treaty on European Union.
