《新大国、新责任》提出通过一系列措施“深化”欧盟，包括让国家议会直接参与其中，并对成员国政府施加更紧的欧洲财政约束，以此换取欧洲银行联盟欧盟、欧元区预算和欧元债券，从而实现金融决策民主化。
New Power, New Responsibility calls for “deepening” the European Union through measures that would include democratizing EU financial decision-making by directly engaging national parliamentarians and exchanging tighter European fiscal constraints on member governments’ budgets for a European banking union, a eurozone budget, and Eurobonds.
