Pro-European

A Pro-European or Europhile is a person who supports the European Union (EU) and/or further European integration.

The Pro-European approach

Pro-Europeans believe that, in the present multipolar world, union makes strength more than ever, making a united and independent Europe more and more necessary, while a divided one would bring disadvantages in economical, cultural, political, social, scientific, diplomatic, military and other fields.

However positive the EU benefits are, such a "quality / cost" rating is not generally the only aspect that motivate them, as they also feel they belong together to a common community of people.

They are usually not entirely satisfied with the organization and working of the EU institutions, but they think the solution is not in destroying what has been built, but on the contrary to push for more unity, transparency and democracy.
