Those suggestions will need new treaties to be agreed by all EU member states.
I think close to half the member states would not agree to this.
The EU needs a bold step backwards, not forward.

It needs to take a bold step forward (just like its "glorious" predecessor Austria-Hungary when it declared war on Serbia) and introduce some major changes.
1. Contributions by EU member states are replaced by EU wide tax
2. European parliament is given full legislative powers and ideally have mid term elections, instead of all MPs being elected at once. Have power to initiate vote of no confidence in European commission.
3. Abolish council of ministers and have European Council (prime ministers) approve/veto legislation or initiate it if needed.
The EU will either survive it and work better or fall apart.
