- Il Gruppo Tindemans era un gruppo di esperti che nel periodo 1994-1995 ha scritto un rapporto sul futuro dell'Unione europea dopo l'allargamento con i nuovi Stati membri dell'Europa centrale e orientale. Il gruppo era composto da 48 politici e funzionari degli allora 15 stati membri dell'Unione Europea. Sia gli euroscettici che gli eurofederalisti erano rappresentati nel gruppo. Il presidente era Leo Tindemans, il segretario era , altri membri erano tra gli altri: , dal 22 settembre 2006 al 14 ottobre 2010 Ministro della giustizia olandese , attuale membro del Consiglio di Stato (Paesi Bassi) Il gruppo ha scritto una relazione con cinque scenari molto diversi per le istituzioni europee. Dall'"Europa delle nazioni" agli "Stati Uniti d'Europa" e tutte le varianti intermedie. Gli scenari sono stati commentati in modo neutrale sia dai sostenitori che dagli avversari dello scenario in questione. Nessuna scelta è stata presa per nessuno di questi scenari, ma il gruppo ha enfaticamente raccomandato che si svolgesse un dibattito pubblico sui vari scenari futuri. "L'Europa: la vostra scelta" è stata presentata nel dicembre 1995 al Presidente della Commissione europea, al Presidente del Parlamento europeo e al Presidente del Consiglio europeo. È stato pubblicato in forma di libro in inglese, spagnolo, francese e tedesco. (it)
- The Tindemans Group was an EU group of reflection in 1994-1995, set up with the aim of bringing the general public into the debate about the 1996 Intergovernmental Conference with a view to enlargement with new member states from Central and Eastern Europe. It was chaired by Leo Tindemans, former Prime Minister of Belgium; secretary of the Group was Sammy van Tuyll van Serooskerken. The Group consisted of 48 politicians, civil servants and experts from all member states and from all major political affiliations. The members of the Group had different backgrounds, different views on government and different views on Europe, such as how far it should be integrated and how decisions should be made. They shared one view in common: the decision about the future of the European Union cannot be taken without the involvement of the citizens of its member states. The Group stressed the need to discuss the institutional framework of the European Union with a view to the enlargement of the Union. It pointed out that if the countries of Central and Eastern Europe would join the Union, membership could eventually reach as many as thirty countries. Such an enlargement will require effective decision-making procedures, but at the same time there would be a growing risk that people will feel dissociated from decision taking in such a large organisation. Members of the Group were, amongst others: Jens-Peter Bonde, Elmar Brok, Bill Cash, François Froment-Meurice, Élisabeth Guigou, Ernst Hirsch Ballin, Fientje Moerman, Richard Portes, Nicolas Schmitt, Leo Tindemans (chairman), Sammy van Tuyll van Serooskerken, (secretary of the Group), Frank Vibert. The Group wrote a report, “Europe: Your choice”, describing five options for tomorrow's Europe. The five scenarios range from a less integrated Europe to the equivalent of the United States of Europe. The scenarios can be briefly described as follows.
* Scenario 0: The current situation, presented for comparison
* Scenario 1: Several modifications to the current situation, discussed separately.
* Scenario 2: The Commission is the main policy-making body in the Union, accountable to a bi-cameral Parliament. The Council assigns policy areas to the Union level and applies a subsidiarity test.
* Scenario 3: The Council has the primary responsibility for taking the initiative in public policy; the Commission has an administrative task; the Parliament is bi-cameral, with one Chamber, consisting of Members of the national Parlia¬ments, ensuring that European measures are really necessary.
* Scenario 4: The Commission becomes a "European government", accountable to a bi-cameral European Parliament; the Council is transformed into one of its Chambers, the European Senate.
* Scenario 5: The Council is the decision making body; the Commission gives administrative support; the Parliament has an advisory role. It was not the aim of the Tindemans Group to specifically recommend any of these scenarios. It is up to the reader to draw his own conclusions. The report of the Tindemans Group was presented to the President of the European Commission, the President of the European Parliament and the President of the Council in December 1995. It was published in English, French, German and Spanish. (en)

Variërend van het "Europa der naties" tot de "Verenigde Staten van Europa" en alle varianten daartussen. De scenario's werden op neutrale wijze van commentaar voorzien door zowel voor- als tegenstanders van het desbetreffende scenario. Er werd nadrukkelijk geen keuze gemaakt voor een van deze scenario's, wel deed de groep nadrukkelijk de aanbeveling een openbaar debat te voeren over de verschillende toekomstscenario's. "Europe: your choice" is in december 1995 aangeboden aan de voorzitter van de Europese Commissie, de voorzitter van het Europees Parlement en de voorzitter van de Europese Raad. Het is in boekvorm verschenen in het Engels, Spaans, Frans en Duits. (nl)
