The EU needs to step back to the level of the EEC, as quickly as possible, and then look to streamline and remove red tape - the focus needs to be on agility and local control.

The EEC was the last strable version and the introduction of the Euro was undoubtably rushed to a point that the currency can not be expected to withstand with a major financial crisis in the next five to ten years.

But none of this means we have to abolish the Euro and go back to the EEC. It's this introversive thinking that preventst the EU from gaining the authority it needs to resolve it's issues, because at the moment it simply doesn't have the authority to enforce it's own ideals. Young people with large majority support the EU and that's a good starting point for feeding more power into the european parliament. Though I personally would like to see a reform on how it's formed beforehand.

In this matter it's entirely a notion of "option" whether the way forward is with more or less power to the individual countries part of the EU.

Despite the Weimar Republics structural failure the modern Germany is way closer to it than it's to the pre-WW1 German Reich. In the same way the reform of the EU will not move Europe backwards back to the Nations-with-hard-Boders System it had before the EU. Which would make going back to the EEC a unnecessary step backwards ironically costing time, trust and resources. The only reason it would become necessary is if a War or Crisis forced it to happen. We are currently not in that situation and apocalyptic predictions about it happening don't change that at this very moment reforms can still happen without having to move backwards - at least in the matter of the European Union.

Greeces situation is dominantly tied to the Euro, if anything their interest to remain in the European Union has been underlined by the issue. At this point Brexit, Greece and the Poland/East-European issue are all open questions that expose the need for reforms nothing more - nothing less. To say that without any structural changes to the EU and Euro both projects will fail within the next two decades (to which I'd subscribe) is not the same as declaring them both failed at this point and ask for total retraction.
