2 Member State Equality and Procedural Fairness in Differentiated Integration: A Republican Perspective

Abstract
Dirk Leuffen’s contribution builds on internationalist republicanism to claim that differentiation does not, per se, violate the principle of equality among Member States. For him though, ‘differentiated integration must be designed not to violate, but instead honour the principle of freedom as non-domination’, an approach which, in author’s view, leads to differentiated integration ensuring Member States’ and thus citizens’ equality, instead of posing a threat to it. In Leuffen’s view, Member States are set under an ‘associative obligation’ towards each other. This obligation does not, however, translate to non-EU members involved in initiatives of external differentiated integration. In author’s opinion, therefore, ‘differentiated integrated must not violate the principle of freedom as non-domination’, and Member States are under the ‘obligation to respect freedom as non-domination of all Member States’ when acting in and outside the EU legal framework, but this obligation does not exist vis-à-vis third states, that is, in cases of external differentiation. Furthermore, Leuffen stresses the necessity for the process leading to differentiation to be perceived as fair by citizens, and for it to be transparent, and also proposes, among other things, an original mechanism to introduce ex post opt-outs.
