Pro-Europeanism, sometimes called European Unionism,[1][2] is a political position that favours European integration and membership of the European Union (EU).[3] The opposite of Pro-Europeanism is Euroscepticism.

Political position

Percentage responding that their country on balance benefited from being a member of the EU at Eurobarometer 2023:[4]Page Template:Col-begin/styles.css has no content.

Pro-Europeans are mostly classified as centrist (Renew Europe) in the context of pan-European politics, including centre-right liberal conservatives (EPP Group) and centre-left social democrats (S&D and Greens/EFA). Pro-Europeanism is ideologically closely related to the European and global liberal movement.[5][6][7][8]

Pro-Europeans often argue that EU membership has specific benefits for member nations such as that the EU encourages economic prosperity among members, that it promotes peace and stability in member states, that it encourages social progress among member states, that the EU gives countries greater leverage on the world stage compared to countries not in the EU, and that Europeans have shared values and identity. They also argue that these benefits outweigh common criticisms and issues of the EU for member states.[9][10][11]

Some pro-Europeans may also support a stronger and more centralized EU as well as the idea of Federal Europe as well as further European integration among member states.[12]
